We want to celebrate the way God moved in our students' lives this summer. Join us at the 9am or 10:30am service on Sunday, August 11 to go over life-changing transformations, witness baptisms, and celebrate our students' commitment to growing in their faith!
There will not be Summit Kids programming for K-5th grade or the Chapel service, bring the whole family to camp celebration in the worship center instead!
Daylight Saving Time is beginning on March 10, so we wanted to make the morning a little easier for your family as you "spring forward" one hour.
