What about Small Groups?
Life Groups help each person in these small groups to grow in their faith through a deeper study of the Bible. Review, discussion, and fellowship facilitate learning and growing in God’s word.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (NIV) 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Sunday Morning Life Groups
Meet every Sunday Morning at 9:45 a.m. Members of Summit Church host the Life Groups. The following previews each Life Group by topic and host:
Romans: Join Pam Berg as she and the group discusses how the letter to the church in Rome written during the first century can help us in the modern day with how we think and how we follow Jesus.
International Lesson: Fred Sandels guides these classes with an overview of Jesus' service to others, and what we must do to change His world and advance His kingdom!
Ephesians: The letter to the church in Ephesus is filled with rich imagery, majestic writing, and talk of a mystery. Tony McKee and the group walks through a passage from the letter each session and mines out what it means to live "in Christ" every day.
7:00 p.m. Wednesday Life Group: Dale Campbell leads a mid-week study on a variety of subjects.
What Do We Believe?
Summit Christian Church proclaims the love of Jesus Christ, consults the Bible for direction in life, and celebrates Communion every Sunday to remember Christ’s sacrifice for us.
Our Vision - to be a friendly, externally focused church, touching lives and meeting needs for people of all races, ages, and stages of life.
Our Purpose - to turn people into followers of Jesus.
Our Desire - for every member to participate in:
- Worshiping during Sunday morning services
- Learning through our Life Groups
- Serving our church and the community through one of our ministries
- Giving our time and talents to serve Christ and others
At Summit Christian Church, we strongly believe …
- The Bible stands as God’s word for all. Human authors wrote it under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Bible serves as our source for truth and our foundation for living. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105
- God freely offers the gift of salvation by grace and through faith in Jesus Christ. As God's Son, we believe Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. Personal salvation requires us to publicly confess Jesus Christ and our faith in His sacrificial work on the cross. John 3:16; Acts 2:38; Romans 3:22-24; Ephesians 2:8-9
- Our purpose focuses on developing fully devoted followers of Jesus. Matthew 28:19-20
- Summit Christian tries to pattern herself after the first century Church by taking the Lord’s Supper each week and immersing new believers into Christ through Christian baptism. Acts 2:41-42
- A nondenominational community of believers, Summit Church strives to live New Testament Christianity. We network with a fellowship of nearly 6,000 Churches of Christ across the world.
