Where is the church going to be located?
We currently worship at Verrado High
School, located at 20050 W.
Indian School Road, Buckeye, AZ 85396
Why the name “ SUMMIT Community?”
The name ‘ Summit’ gives a
picture of security, of permanence, and
of a height of experience. In Christ, we
celebrate all of these. The ‘ Summit’ is
where we receive our strength and
guidance (Psalm 121) and where we learn
to work and grow together as we journey
through life.
Why only one
style of worship? Why not have both traditional and
contemporary?
We believe God desires a
focused ministry for our church. By
doing one style and doing it with
excellence keeps us focused. We believe
that a worship style that reflects the
cultural will be more relational to the
unchurched hearers and participants.
Also, there are other local churches
(Lutheran and other) that offer the
traditional and blended style of
worship.
Why
do the children leave before the
message?
We are firm believers that
families should worship together.
Therefore, the children are involved in
the praise and worship time before the
message and then have the opportunity to
experience a teaching that meets their
needs and maturity level.
Why
is there no Sunday Morning Bible class
for Adults?
If you look at the adults that stay for Bible Classes on
a Sunday, the percentage is small. That
is why we’ve enhanced the message during
the service to give people an in-depth
Bible study with application points for
everyday life. The ‘digging’ comes
within the context of the small group
ministry which happens throughout the
week.
What
if I don’t want to be involved in a
small group?
No one is going to ‘twist your
arm’ to be in a small group. However, we
believe that life-change happens best in
the context of a small group. Because we
are and will be a large church, to have
the fullest and best experience at our
church, the small group ministry is
essential for faith growth,
opportunities for care and personal
fulfillment.
Is the church connected to a
denomination?
Yes. Our church is first and
foremost Christian. Secondly, our church
is an active member of the Lutheran
Church – Missouri Synod (www.lcms.org)
