Current Sermon Series
The Way of Jesus
What does it really mean to follow Jesus? It’s not that we don’t want to become like Jesus, or that we aren’t trying to become like Jesus. It often is as simple as that we don’t know HOW to become like Jesus. We need a pathway to formation in today’s world. As we move through the season of the Lent, the 40 days and 7 Sundays before Easter, we will explore what it means to practice the way of Jesus, learning together what it means to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did. During this series we also will provide resources and opportunities for you to join a group and use John Mark Comer’s book, Practicing the Way of Jesus. Following the way of Jesus will transform our lives and hearts, helping us find meaning and purpose as we seek to be the presence of Jesus Christ in the world.

What about my kids?
Easter Service Childcare
We are so happy to have you join us for Easter worship. Summit Kids is a place where kids ages 3-5th grade are learning about God through discovery, hands on experiences, building relationships, and creating a change of heart – not just retaining Biblical knowledge. We offer childcare for newborns through 3 years old during the Saturday service at 5:30pm and our Sunday services at 9:00am and 10:30am. Please visit our Summit Kids Webpage to learn more.
FAQ
Can I bring my kids?
ABSOLUTELY!!! Our sermons and music are always geared toward the whole family! So if you don’t want to drop your kids off in our Summit Kid’s programming, we’re happy to have them join us in the sanctuary.
What should I wear?
There is no dress code at Summit Church. Just be yourself. We are casual and laid back! Come in your jeans, shorts, slacks, or suits. You will not be judged by what you wear when you come to our church. If you are attending our Sunrise service, please be sure to watch the weather as the service is outside.
How long are the services?
Approximately 1 hour. We have a special service planned with amazing music, an impactful message, giving, and prayer. Arrive about 15 minutes early so you can grab a cup of coffee in our Sending grounds and so that your group can all sit together.
What is the meaning of Good Friday?
Good Friday is the day we remember the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. It’s observed on the Friday before Easter. Christians believe that Jesus died to forgive people’s sins and bring them closer to God. It’s a solemn day of reflection and prayer, marking the suffering and sacrifice Jesus made for all people.
What are some Easter Scriptures?
Matthew 28:5-6
“The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.’”
See also: John 11:25-26, Luke 24:6-7, 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, Mark 16:6
What is Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter and marks the beginning of Holy Week. It remembers when Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem, and people waved palm branches and laid them on the ground as a way to honor him. This event is seen as a sign of Jesus being recognized as a king, but it also leads into the events of his crucifixion later in the week. It’s a day of celebration, often with people in church waving palm branches.
