Outreach

Summit Church expands its disciple-making vision to our surrounding communities as part of our local and regional outreach, to help fulfill the Great Commission and the Great Commandment!

Guiding Principle #13 of Summit states, "All the ministries of our church must be outreach-focused, rather than inward-focused. We do not exist for our own benefit, but for the benefit of those who need to hear the gospel. We desire to reach as many as possible with the good news of Jesus Christ. This process involves fervent prayer, sincere relationships, and bold communication." - Rom. 10:1; Luke 5:27-31; 2 Cor. 5:11-20

As a church family, it is our privilege to pray for, encourage, assist with, and provide financial support for several outreach ministry opportunities!
