Leading preteens to follow christ

Summit Preteen meets weekly on Wednesday evenings in Room 107 at Summit Church from 6:30-8PM. This is a ministry for preteens currently in 4th and 5th grade. We believe this age group is in a unique stage of life as they learn how to take their faith, identity, and purpose into the real world. We lead preteens to follow Christ through engaging games, teaching, and small group time. Preteens are also encouraged to join us every Sunday for our worship celebrations at 8:30AM, 10AM, or 11:30AM. For more information, please email Pastor Chuck.

Fifth sunday family services

Starting in November 2025, during every fifth Sunday of the month, our worship services will become "Family Services." Our desire is to create more opportunities for intergenerational worship as there is a richness to be experienced when our church is gathered as a whole. 


- Summit Kids four years old through 3rd grade will join our congregation for the entirety of our Worship Service 

- Worship will include songs kids know from Summit Kids

- Summit Kids, Preteens, and Youth may participate in different creative elements of the service (prayer, worship, etc.) 

- Programming is available for newborns through 3-year-olds, although you are welcome to include them in service

- There is no check-in for kids four years old through 3rd grade

LEADING PRETEENS TO FOLLOW CHRIST

This happens through a three-step process:


KNOW GOD:

By bridging the foundation of the Christian faith to real life, we help preteens move from concrete learning to abstract thinking and application.


LOVE PEOPLE:

We help preteens develop Christ-centered relationships that will help them grow in their faith and live out God-created community.  


SERVE THE WORLD:

Jesus was a servant and calls us to be the same. We put others' needs ahead of our own by giving time and resources to each other, our community, and beyond.
