                                                                                                            Current Mission Focus

"God has reconciled the world to himself in Christ, and has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors." 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

This pathway step is where followers of Christ demonstrate God’s love through active service to the church and the community as a natural expression of faith.  The primary means of service at this step of discipleship is participation in a ministry team.  Jesus calls us to serve and the very nature of serving on a ministry team demonstrates God's love to the world.

New Summit Missions, Opportunities to serve our community and the world: 

What a humbling honor to participate in His diplomatic service to our community and the world. Our commitment to Mission means that "we will talk about God’s call to each of us to reach out to others beyond the church. Corporately, it also means that we will plan and carry out ministries which reach out with God’s love locally and globally. Financially, it means that our congregation will give of its financial blessing to the mission of the church.
