Who We Are

Mission Statement

Summit Kids exists to anchor children to gospel truth and equip them to follow Jesus.

Vision

We commit to promote the safety, belonging, Biblical literacy, and theological competency of children both during our Sunday morning services and in our life together as the Body of Christ.
My people, hear my instruction; listen to the words from my mouth. I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past—things we have heard and known and that our ancestors have passed down to us. We will not hide them from their children, but will tell a future generation the praiseworthy acts of the Lord, his might, and the wondrous works he has performed. He established a testimony in Jacob and set up a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children so that a future generation—children yet to be born—might know. They were to rise and tell their children so that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God’s works, but keep his commands. Then they would not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not loyal and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
Psalm 78:2-7

August Unit

This Month’s Unit Title Is: The Big Inning

This month’s unit, The Big Inning, helps kids learn that God created everything and it all belongs to Him. He provides and protects because it’s all His! Our stories emphasize God is Sovereign over all and because He is the author of all creation, we can trust Him in everything.
 
Biblical Literacy: Our stories this month teach kids how God is the creator! This month, we celebrate the Big Inning, the very beginning of God’s story and ours! Just like every baseball game starts with the first pitch, everything in creation begins with God. Through our stories this month, kids discover that God designed the world, made people with purpose and has always had a plan. Every beginning comes from God! Our monthly memory verse comes from Colossians.

Preschool Memory Verse:  For by Him all things were created.
Elementary Memory Verse:  By Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth... all things were created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16)
