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.

Fed By the Vine
Being the church has never been about self-preservation
but about allowing God to nourish us and to live within us and through us so that God’s will may be done
here on earth as it is in heaven. 
When I was installed here as pastor 4 years ago
these were the two focus scriptures I chose for that service.  “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” Psalm 127:1a and “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
 I chose these scriptures because I do not want us to labor in vain.  I want us always to remember that being the church is not about numbers, but about abiding in the true vine and allowing that true vine to abide in us so that others may come to know the true vine through our lives. 
I want us to trust an a very intimate God who will nourish us as long as we choose to feed on the vine that desires to nourish us, strengthen us, guide us and uphold us
​as we journey through this life.
I also chose those verses because I believe they fit right in with what we claim to be in our vision statement and covenant as a church.
(You can view those statements under
About Us - Summit in a Nut Shell)

Prayer
Jesus you are the true vine and we are the branches. 
Help us always to abide in you and allow you to abide in us so that others may come to know God through our lives
just as God has been revealed through you. 
God we thank you that you love us not from afar,
but so intimately
that you have planted you Holy Spirit with in us
as the vine to continually nourish us,
strengthen us, uphold us, guide us
and allow us to love as you love us. 
May all glory and honor be yours now and forever,
Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit.  Amen.
