Blake & Tara Crawford

We love doing life with others. We feel it's great for our relationship with Christ, our marriage and
our kids.  As the Bible says, iron sharpens iron, and living in a
Christ-centered community where people are free to share their hearts,
keeps us all centered on Christ. 

As for hobbies, I like to golf. Tara loves hanging with family and friends, caring for her nephew two
days a week, and lazy weekends. 

As far as interests go, I am deeply passionate about Christian ministry
and shepherding men and marriages.

Life Group has been, is and will be a community of the Spirit under the Word of God (1 Peter 4:8:-11).  It is fulfilling to all that participate because we come together through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:3).

We see the fruit of Life Group found in Acts 2:42-47, Luke 8:21, 1 Thessalonians 4:9-10, Romans 6:14, Matthew 6:33, James 1:27.

We enjoy Summit Church, our family, all Barron Collier sporting events, Chick-fil-A and The First Tee of Naples/Collier.  We meet in North Naples on Sunday Nights

Authentic Biblical Community is extremely important to us, since it is so often very hard to build strong relationships in the larger church worship environment. To us, Biblical Community is couples meeting to share their walk as believers in Christ while developing a transparent, caring and accountable core group in which to share this journey we are all on. It is creating a safe place for each member to find encouragement and support of other believers who are doing life together.


We have one daughter Wendy and son-in-law Ed along with two grandsons, Jordan (15) & Justin (17) who live in Ft. Myers and attend Summit at the University Campus in Estero where Ed plays Lead Guitar in the Saturday Night Worship Service.


Jim is VP of Global Facilities for a local Software Company and Sharron is an Accounting Manager for Collier Enterprises. We enjoy recreational biking, long walks together and travel (when we can get away). Jim is very involved in photography and video editing and dabbles with guitar a bit. Sharron enjoys reading, music and has sung in both choir and small worship band environments.


We live in Vanderbilt Country Club about 1 mile East of 951 (Collier Blvd.) on Vanderbilt Beach Road in North Naples.

Jonathan & Kelly Garrick

Jonathan and Kelly Garrick get the most pleasure in spending time with their two daughters, Sydney (13) and Peyton (3). They are expecting another little girl, Arlene Ann, sometime in early October.

They enjoy hosting family get-togethers and cooking meals together…both love Food Network! Kelly also likes sewing and garage sale shopping. Jonathan spends time coaching Sydney’s middle school volleyball team and Community School of Naples’ Track & Field.

Jonathan is Assistant Vice President at BB&T Insurance Services and Kelly teaches High School Science. Both enjoy being involved in the community and getting their girls involved as well by volunteering with the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Human Society, Special Olympics, and JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund).

Jonathan and Kelly feel that true community implies a deeper commitment than just living in the same neighborhood or going to the same church. True community to them is not to seek out those who share your opinions, lifestyles or careers, but rather caring for and fellowshipping with those who might share nothing but the common bond of Christ. We feel the end result of this will be authentic relationships with real people based not on worldly reason, but on the unifying work of our lord!

Rob & Laura Schmidt

We are Rob and Laura Schmidt.  Laura was born and raised in Ohio, Rob was born in New York, and spent most of his life in Jacksonville and Naples, Florida.  We met in Naples and were married 13 years ago.  We have two sons, Jacob who is 5, and Joshua who is 3.

Rob works as a supervisor at UPS and as a pool tech for Clearwater Pools, our family-owned business.  Laura is currently a stay-at-home mom.  But she still works a few hours out of the house as a fitness trainer and also as an independent consultant for Thirty-One.

Rob is a competitive powerlifter, so his hobby is training in the gym.  Laura loves the gym, as well as baking in the kitchen and running around with the kids.  As a family we enjoy swimming, bowling, biking, and wrestling in the livingroom!

We have been attending Summit Church for 5 years.  Laura serves in the Big Enuf children's ministry.  We have been involved in a few different Small Groups and have been Small Group Leaders for the past year.

We love Biblical community for the opportunity to really get to know another person or couple for who they really are and to share in their struggles and successes.  Also, we love being able to have others that you can turn to when you need it most and having others there to share all the blessings of life.

We enjoy anything active, running, yoga, pilates, basketball, travel, hiking, hospitality, spending time with family and friends.
