The Next Chapter

From Pastor J.D.

Veronica and I are excited about what's in store for this next chapter in the life of The Summit Church.

God has given us two goals for this All-In Initiative. Let me discuss the secondary goal first: to gather the resources we need to do the ministry that He has put before us. We believe that, like Abraham and other men and women of faith, God has chosen us to be a vehicle of blessing.  What a privilege to be chosen this way and to be used by God to see salvation and healing come to our family, our neighbors, and the world! This is a season for us to act boldly.

The primary goal, however, is not the collection of resources. The primary goal is that the 7000 people who are a part of our church would go All-In on the mission of God. The call to make disciples is not something unique to a few select leaders or pastors; it is true of every disciple of Jesus. Our hope is that each person in our church would go All-In with Jesus on this mission. The Summit Church should be a great vehicle for that mission, and so our hope is that everyone at our church would dive All-In to what God is doing here.

Veronica and I are looking forward to seeing how the Holy Spirit challenges us during these days. By God’s grace, we will say (to paraphrase Joshua), “As for me and my house, we are All-In” (Joshua 24:15).
