Visiting Summit:

Summit is a  small congregation of around 100 members, 50 of whom attend the Sunday  service.  While many members are older, there are some young families and  we have a multiracial Sunday School class of around 10 children.  People  wear what's comfortable for them. 

There is plenty of parking and  the main entrance is the one with the canopy (where you may drop people off in  bad weather or if they need assistance).
Someone will greet you at the  door.  The worship space is to the right, and the restrooms are to the  left. 

Visitors are always welcomed warmly.  You are invited  to contact us if you'd like more information before attending for a first  time.

Email the church with any questions or  comments.

“How very good and pleasant it is
when kindred live in unity”  
(Psalm 133:1 NRSV)
“A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.” 
​(Proverbs 15:4 NRSV)
“Rash words are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” 
(Proverbs 12:18)
 
It is hard to believe that another school year is upon us.
Proverbs 2:6 says: “For the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;”
May the school year ahead be filled with opportunities
to gain wisdom, knowledge and understanding,
in an environment where there is a spirit of unity
even when differing opinions are present.
May words of encouragement and correction
be spoken with a gentle tongue
that brings healing and gives life.
May teachers and students alike
learn from each other
and grow together.
And, may God’s
 Peace,
Hope,
Love,
and Joy
abound!
