Welcome to Summit Students!
Summit Students is the youth ministry at Summit Church for students in 6th-12th grade. Here, we hang out, make new friends, and develop our relationship with God and each other through messages, small group time, and serving one another and our community.
Middle School Gatherings
6th – 8th Graders
Join us for food, fellowship, games, worship and a lesson! Starting September 3rd we will meet every Sunday from 5:00pm-7:00pm. Students are encouraged to bring friends and bring their Bibles.
Middle school will be going through a series this year called The Thread. The Thread is a study that will help students learn the big picture story of the Bible and learn what the Gospel is and how it literally courses through scripture.
High School Gatherings
9th – 12th Graders
Join us for food, fellowship, games, worship and a lesson! Starting September 6th we will meet every Wednesday from 6:00pm-8:00pm. Students are encouraged to bring friends and bring their Bibles.
High school will be going through a series this year called Amplify. Amplify is a study that equips students to grow a dynamic faith by studying core spiritual truths. Some of those spiritual truths include; worship, God’s word, obedience, suffering, service, and stewardship.
