Native Hope Food Drive Service Project- Saturday, November 13th, 10am- 3pm

Summit Students will be participating in the Native Hope Food Drive on Saturday, November 13th.  We are encouraging all students in 6th-12th grade to collect non-perishable food items from family, friends and neighbors and bring those food items to the Food Drive on the 13th.  We’ll help receive other donations that are dropped off in the church parking lot/garage by others in the community and put together “Care Packages” throughout the day.  Also, each of our 5 Youth Small Groups will be creating and decorating their own “Drop Box” to have at the collection site.  The group that receives the most donations in their “Drop Box” will receive prizes and a pizza party for their group.  Come out and support this worthy cause to provide much needed food to families on the Navajo reservation!

Interim Youth Director 

Kelsey Scott has been attending Summit Church since her freshman year at Fort Lewis College in 2015. She was involved in our Rooted College Ministry her entire time at FLC and even continued to serve in leadership roles within Rooted after she graduated in 2019. Kelsey was also a volunteer leader in our youth ministry for several years while she was at FLC, so some of you already know her. She got married to her husband, Nathan, last summer here at Summit Church. Nathan was an intern here at Summit last year and still continues to lead worship here from time to time.

Kelsey is currently a middle school teacher at a school in Pagosa Springs, so she will continue to fulfill her teaching responsibilities for the remainder of the school year. Therefore, she will be in a part-time role here with our youth ministry until the end of the school year and she will transition into a full-time role in June 2022.
