Christmas Wisdom
Beneath heaven’s ancient canvas, a story was unfolding—one that wise men from afar followed by starlight. Like those seekers who journeyed by caravan following heaven’s star, we invite you to join us this Advent season for Christmas Wisdom, as we explore the Christmas story through the Gospel of Matthew. Two thousand years ago, these Magi came bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, seeking the newborn King whose birth was foretold by prophets and proclaimed by angels—a child who would be called Jesus, Messiah, Emanuel. And when they found him, they were filled with joy. Today, wise ones still seek this King, and they too are overjoyed at finding Him. Come join us as we journey together through this ancient story of seeking and finding, discovering anew the wonder of that holy night.
Christmas Eve Service
We know visiting a new church can be intimidating, but at Summit Church, you’ll find a warm, welcoming environment where everyone is treated like family.
Our Christmas Eve services are designed with you in mind—an encouraging and relevant message, and a special candlelight ceremony.
For families with little ones, we’ve got you covered! Activity boxes will be available to keep busy hands engaged during the service. If you need a break, feel free to use the Family Room—it’s a welcoming space where you and your child can relax together. We kindly ask that parents or guardians remain with their child while using the Family Room.
Join us on Tuesday, December 23rd at 6:00 pm or on Wednesday, December 24th at 1:00, 3:00, 5:00, or 7:00 pm for a service that promises to inspire and uplift, located at 2917 Aspen Drive, Durango, Colorado 81301.

Summit Church Christmas Offering
Four organizations were selected to receive the proceeds from this years Christmas Offering. As it is every year, 100% of the funds donated to the campaign are given to the selected group. The charities chosen this year were two international missions and two local missions.
The Tandana Foundation will be constructing a community and health center in Dolognu, which is in the country of Mali. Over 5,000 local residents will benefit from this clinic as well as others who may travel for medical or other care. The International Treasure House in Kenya is an organization our church has established long-term relationships with and the mission teams from our church visit them every time we are over there. Their funds will be used to construct a trade school and community center. It will be located about an hour outside of Nairobi and will reach hundreds of children and adults in this rural area. The first local organization is Manna which is receiving money to support all of their food access programs. This includes the backpack program for children, the Food Market which supplies food at no cost to clients, and the take-out window which served over 48,000 meals last year. Finally, Alternative Horizons is the second local organization selected. They provide confidential support and resources for women, children, and men who have been the victims of domestic violence. They have been in the local community for several decades and provide a service that is, unfortunately, much needed and increasing.
You may give via check or online and choose Christmas Offering in the dropdown menu on the giving portal. You may also split your donation between more than one recipient or designate just one of them. For information, contact the church office for more details.

Blue Christmas
Blue Christmas Service is offered especially for those hurting during the holidays. Some come because they are mourning the death of a loved one. Some are far from home. Some suffer from illness, addiction, or estrangement. Some are lonely, struggling financially, or in conflict with another. Some hurt because of the great pain, need, and violence in our nation and world. The reasons for coming are many.
We gather in the midst of suffering to remember God is good. God is strong. God is near.
