Mission

 
Summit Church exists to glorify God through presenting the Gospel to every man, woman and child, connecting them into loving relationship with Jesus Christ and others. 
 

Values

We value GOD above all things. In Him, we embrace the TRUTH He reveals, the LOVE He demonstrates, and the MISSION He invites us to join.

 

 

GOD - Because God is the center of everything we exist to glorify Him.

 

We value God because He is the Creator and beginning of all things. He holds everything together. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present, and the giver of Salvation.

 

  • Genesis 1:1
  • John 1:1-4
  • Colossians 1:17

 

 

TRUTH - Because the Word of God is Truth , it is the foundation on which we build our lives.

 

We value Jesus as the Truth. He, along with the truth of Scripture, reveals God’s character, plan and salvation. All Scripture is God-breathed, living and the foundation on which we build our lives.

 

  • John 14:6
  • Psalm 119:105
  • 2 Timothy 3:16
  • Hebrews 4:12

 

 

LOVE - Because God is love and first loved us, our response is to love Him and others.

 

We value love because God is love. He first lavished his unconditional love upon us, which compels us to love Him and others. These are the two greatest commandments. 

 

  • 1 John 4:8
  • 1 John 4:19
  • 2 Corinthians 5:13-15
  • Matthew 22:36-40

 

 

MISSION - Because God has invited us to join Him on mission, we are compelled to discover and engage in His purposes. 

 

We value mission because God has commanded us to make disciples of evert man, woman and child. We are created to glorify God by living on mission with God. 

 

  • Matthew 28:16-20
  • Ephesians 2:10
  • Acts 20:24
