Our Mission
Ephesians 4:11–13 · Matthew 9:35–38 · 1 Peter 3:8
August 2 Sunday’s Message · Acts 8
Sean Thome continued Empowered Witnesses through Acts 8, following the gospel into Samaria and into Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch. We are invited to live as everyday witnesses—showing and sharing the love of Jesus, noticing where God is already at work, and responding faithfully wherever he sends us.

Due to severe wildfires across the region, this week’s McKinley Mission trip is canceled. This decision was made for the safety of our youth and volunteers and with respect for McKinley Mission Church’s current priorities. We look forward to returning next year. Please pray for the McKinley community and everyone affected by the wildfires.
Summit Youth will celebrate the end of summer with beach volleyball, grilled food, games, ice cream, and a movie back at Crossroads. The event is free; preregistration is required for transportation waivers and planning.
