Our purpose as a local church is first and foremost God-centered; we exist to glorify God. Everything we are and do as a church is designed with the ultimate goal of exalting and glorifying Him above all.

We believe God is most glorified by people who are finding their ultimate joy, life, and satisfaction in Him. This is why in Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said, "make disciples of all nations..." A disciple is anyone who, having been reconciled to God through faith in Jesus, is growing to treasure God in all of life.

This process of making disciples who treasure God in all of life is the heartbeat of our church, and the primary way we accomplish our mission.

We do this by helping one another know the Gospel, connect in Gospel relationships, and live out the Gospel in the world around us.

The Gospel is the good news about Jesus – who He is and what He’s done to save us through His life, death, and resurrection. The more we know Jesus, the more we will truly know why God is worthy of being our ultimate treasure. Therefore, we are committed to helping one another know the Gospel deeply and holistically with our head (Gospel-understanding), heart (Gospel-impact), and hands (Gospel-action).
Mark 12:30, Matthew 22:36-40

We are transformed by the Gospel as we connect to God and one another through Gospel-centered community. The Church is a family where our relationships with one another are essential to the growth of our relationships with Him. Therefore, we are committed to a relational network of gatherings - small (DNA groups), medium (Missional Communities), and large (Sunday worship) - designed to support and help one another treasure God in all of life.  
2 Timothy 2:1-2, Ephesians 4:11-16, Hebrews 10:25

Jesus tells a story about a man who was so overjoyed by a treasure he found that he reoriented his entire life to have it. We believe Jesus is calling us to do the same as we grow to treasure God. Therefore, we are committed to helping one another reorient every aspect of our lives (e.g. personal, public, professional) by “living out” or submitting ourselves to the implications of the Gospel, both internally in our hearts, and externally in the way we love and serve others in the world around us.
Matthew 13:44, 1 Peter 2:9, John 15:5, Romans 12:1-2

We gather weekly to worship God through song, prayer, giving, communion, and the expositional teaching of the Bible. These weekly gatherings equip and encourage the whole church body with the Gospel.

Missional Communities are where the majority of Summit Crossing’s mission gets lived out. A Missional Community is a family of servant missionaries who are sent to make disciples. Each MC gathers together regularly and walks with one another in the everyday rhythms of life.
