missions
SUMMIT Church has a mission mindset
We believe that every life matters to God and our hope through local and global missions is that others come to know Jesus and His transformational HOPE.
Jesus said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”
Matthew 9:35-38
