Ministries
Connect with others who are committed to following Jesus.
Kids
We are incredibly passionate about kids feeling loved and learning about Jesus in a way they can understand.
What To Expect
Creative Bible Teaching
Bible stories and spiritual truths will come to life through skits, activities, and discussions. It’s our goal that kids learn to love God’s Word and understand the value of applying it to their lives.
Age-Specific Environments
Our environments and lessons are tailored to meet the spiritual and developmental needs of each group.
Safe
Safety is one of our highest priorities. Every time you check your kids in you’ll receive a unique parent identification tag that corresponds to your child’s tag. Additionally, every Serve Team member is screened and participates in a background check.
Fun!
When kids have a blast at church, they can’t wait to come back! You can be sure that your kids will have fun each week as they learn about who God is through games, activities, small groups, and teaching.
Your First Visit
If it’s your first time bringing your kids to Summit, don’t worry…we’ve taken care of everything! Just head over to Kids Check-In area and we’ll meet your family and register you into our check-in system.
During registration, we will ask for the following information: family member’s names, children’s birth dates and grades, address, phone number, and any special instructions for your child (allergies, medical conditions, special needs). This helps us make sure your kids are safe while you’re enjoying the worship gathering! Once the registration has been completed, a host will show you and your child to their age-appropriate room.
Checking In
If your family is already registered in our system, just head to the Kid’s Hall where we offer a fast and convenient Family Check-In procedure.
Follow these quick and easy steps:
1. Enter the last 4 digits of your phone number into one of the kiosks located in the Kid’s Hall. All children who are eligible for check-in can be selected at once.
2. After selecting your child’s name on the kiosk, you and your child(ren) will be given matching check-in stickers for that service. One sticker will be used as a pick-up ticket, and the second sticker will be placed on your child as a name tag. A third ticket will be printed that you will need to bring to the room leader.
3. After service, you’ll return to your child(ren) room(s) and show your pick-up ticket(s). A child will not be released to their guardian without presenting their pick-up ticket.
Parent Resources

Students
If you’re a middle school or high school student, we have a place for you. No matter where you’re at in your spiritual journey, you’re welcome here.
What To Expect
Summit Students is a place of belonging no matter what you’ve done or where you’re at in your spiritual journey. It is a community where you can be real, find support from others through hard times and be encouraged to live life boldly – to live life with purpose. Wherever you find yourself, we want to come alongside you in your journey and walk with you.
Weekly Group Discussions
We want to see students and parents having more conversations about the Bible at home. To help with this, we would like to break the disconnect of students hearing completely different messages. Summit Students discuss the main worship gathering messages, but they are more relevant for our middle and high school students.
Middle School Students
6th-8th graders meet with student leaders on Thursday nights at Summit the first three weeks of the month. We want to have spiritual discussions but we also want to have fun! The monthly schedule is reflected on our church calendar and we have a communication platform we use for parents as well. We want to partner with parents as best we can, so our staff and leaders are here for you too!
High School Students
9th-12th graders meet with student leaders on Sundays at Summit the first three weeks of the month. The 4th Sunday evening of the month, they are hosted by Jim and Sue Ladd. We will have serious conversations, but we will also have fun! The monthly schedule is reflected on our church calendar and we have a communication platform we use for parents as well. We want to partner with parents as best we can, so our staff and leaders are here for you too!

20s-30s
We love helping 20s-30s build meaningful relationships that value genuine and compassionate discussions.
What To Expect
We’re all about doing the Christian life on purpose and we’ve learned that when that’s your perspective, it impacts every area of your life. We believe that as you gain clarity on who God has created you to be and His design for the Church, life has the potential to get really exciting! We realize that there are a lot of conversations in life that people may be hesitant to have so we strive to make our group a place for genuine and compassionate discussions. We want to help everyone take the next step on their own spiritual journey.
When & Where:
We meet at the coffee bar in the church every Wednesday from 6:30-8:00 p.m.
On occasion, we take a week off or do a special event somewhere other than the church so make sure to double-check the calendar.
You’re welcome to show up or you can let us know you’re coming by using the sign-up link below.
Community Groups
We believe that community is where the action is for shaping our faith. Life transformation is ignited by encounters with God and it is shaped by our relationships.
What To Expect
No Christian life is successfully lived in isolation. Each of us is one member of a larger body (1 Cor 12:12), dependent on one another (1 Cor 12:21–26), and intended to both encourage and build one another up (Heb 10:25; Eph 4:16). We find our greatest growth, fulfillment, and joy only when we are running together in pursuit of Jesus. Some of that running happens when we gather every week to worship and learn together, but much of it happens in the time between – in living rooms, coffee shops, workplaces, and hospital rooms.
Community groups create a space where we can meet together to both give and receive all that God is doing in us and through us. Many of us will find that we can most fully exercise our gifts in a community group, and all of us will experience blessings that God will only give to us through the lives of others.
Types of Groups
At Summit, groups are organized in three categories: weekend teaching based, weekly Bible studies and bonus groups.
Weekend Teaching Based
These groups meet weekly and follow a lecture/lab format. These groups connect by wrestling with a portion of God’s Word, supplemental to the Sunday teaching, and applying it where they live, work, study, and play.
Weekly Bible Studies
Bible study groups meet weekly and follow different methods of study such as a book of the Bible, a topical study following a spiritual formation book or a RightNow Media video-based study and biblical discussion. Bible studies that meet less than weekly are considered bonus groups.
Bonus Groups
Bonus groups meet less often, perhaps bi-weekly, monthly, or for a season. While they also contain a spiritual component, they tend to be organized around a specific activity, such as strategies for a particular life-stage, addressing a life-controlling issue, a short- term Bible study (example: Freedom Group), or engaging in a service opportunity.
Lead a Group
While everyone is welcome at Summit, those who lead within the church are to be held to a higher standard. This does not mean that our past disqualifies us. In fact, God will often use the parts of our past that we are least proud of to display His mercy and grace.
I thank Him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because He judged me faithful, appointing me to His service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent...But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display His perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in Him for eternal life.1 Timothy 1:12–13, 16 (ESV)

Worship
We value worship at Summit. Our team leads people to encounter God through authentic, celebratory, spirit-filled worship.
What To Expect
We play contemporary worship music. We like to add in a hymn once in a while as well. We also write original songs for the purpose of blessing our church community.
We understand our role is to serve the church, not perform to fans. The church is not our audience, but God’s family of worshipers. Our musical taste, personal satisfaction, artistic opinions, and platform ambition are set aside. The attitude towards those we lead is one of respect, love, and a yearning for them to know God more.
