Summit Church has a mission mindset
At SUMMIT we are engaged in both local and global missions. You can find us in Estes living out our faith in a variety of ways. From serving through Bobcat Camp to different areas here at SUMMIT, there's opportunities to get involved locally. But SUMMIT is also connected and engaged globally.

Bobcat Camp
Bobcat Camp is an opportunity for Summit staff and volunteers to interact with children and families in Estes Park. On days when Elementary students have no school and Middle School and High School are in session, Summit Church - under the umbrella of the Community Center - offers a camp to Elementary students at the Community Center.
More Information: $25 per student* / Scholarships Available
7:45 AM to 3:45 PM
About the program:
• The program takes place in the Community Center's facility and outdoors as weather permits.
• Students are under the supervision of Summit Church staff and volunteers who will provide age appropriate crafts, games, songs, stories and activities.
• The program fee includes two snacks for the students, mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Students will be responsible to bring their own sack lunches.

CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ)
Brad and Sarah Thoms serve with Campus Crusade for Christ in Boulder, CO. For years they have paired their passion for the outdoors with ministry through Cru, and are now focusing on a regional outdoor ministry team based out of Colorado, called LIFELINES!
LIFELINES is a branch of Cru that is focused on reaching the dark places of campus by offering free outdoor and recreational activities to students, clubs, teams, etc. and using the outdoors as a platform to share about Christ.
Universities can be a place where the Gospel is often times proclaimed no louder than a whisper in the midst of so many other social pressures and worldviews. Brad and Sarah love working with college students and have a vision to not only see Jesus proclaimed among students in Colorado, but also to equip and mobilize them to the corners of the earth to share the life changing effects of the Gospel.

SUMMIT Supports Missions
Each year the Summit Church gives both in time and money to 20+ projects and people. This is made possible through the giving and work of the Summit congregation. The SUMMIT Church Board has committed 5% of the giving each month to these projects and people. The distribution of these funds comes through the Mission Team. They meet monthly to make sure that each project has been researched and prayed for before a decision is made to include them in your giving or work project.
