About Summit

Our mission is to transform Estes through the hope of Jesus Christ.


SUMMIT Church seeks to be a community where the hope, grace, and love of God is extended and received. We understand that everyone, at different times throughout their lives, need to experience the hope, grace and love of God. We believe God is acting through us, his people, as we love others and extend grace when life gets hard. We pray Christ's hope transforms and his grace overflows.


At SUMMIT, all are welcome. Invite your family and friends to experience the grace of God and see Estes transformed by the hope of Christ.

OUR CORE BelieFS

We believe in one God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the Savior of all who put their faith in Him alone.


We believe Jesus shows us what God is like. When Jesus’s disciples asked him to show them, God, he said that “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” Jesus reveals to us a new way of being in the world and asks us to follow him and his way of love. 

 

We believe that those who are made new in Christ are called to be holy in character and conduct, and can only live this way by being filled with the Holy Spirit.


We believe in the Bible and its sufficiency to establish our faith and conduct. 


We believe God wills for people everywhere to know Him and be made new in Christ. 


We believe that the purpose of the Church is to worship God in spirit and in truth, and to reach a lost and fallen world with the gospel of Jesus Christ through its worship, witness, and loving deeds.

Sundays @ summit

Most people come in "mountain casual" attire. You'll see  Boots, Flip-Flops, Flannels and T-Shirts. At SUMMIT, all are welcome!


Our Sunday gathering will last about an hour with twenty minutes of music. The kids will experience a fun, interactive and relevant teaching and those gathered in the main worship setting will receive an engaging and thought provoking message, rooted in Scripture.


At SUMMIT we gather at the Lord's Table at least once a month, on the last Sunday.


SUMMIT is a multi-generational church, where the 6, 26, and 86 year old all matter, and all have a seat at the table. No matter your age or background, there’s a place for you and your family here.
