I don’t remember my first time attending The Summit Church, but I’m sure a lot of other people do. I had become a Christian just two weeks before, and church was not a familiar place. Back then, in 2002, I was an awkward college freshman sporting shoulder-length hair and an...
I have been around the Summit longer than most people. But then again, I’ve been around most places longer than most people. You could say that I’m chronologically mature. So not only do I remember what it was like when the Summit was “Homestead Heights”; I also remember what Homestead...
Last fall, Summit en Español honored one of its most influential and godly leaders, Lloyd Mann, as he retired from service as an elder. Lloyd and his wife Wilma helped establish the SEE campus after retiring from their role as regional consultants for Missions Mobilization in Central America and the...
The Summit is continually training and sending out our best to serve in places of great need around the world and in partnership with our long-term workers and church planters on the field. In 2016, we saw God do an amazing work and wanted to share with you just how...

I consider myself one of the lucky ones to have known J.D. Greear for 25 years. I met him while he was spending the summer interning for my church’s youth group in Florida. He was a college student, and we were a small church, just starting out. Instantly our church...
The Summit Church has always been a multi-generational church. When Laura and I first came to the church in January 2000—it was Homestead Heights Baptist Church back then— we were immediately welcomed by the families there. I remember being impressed by the grandparents, parents, and grandchildren gathering together in vibrant...
Whenever we’re looking to the future and dreaming about what is to come, I find it helpful to look back and remember where we’ve come from. It’s good to recall the answers to prayer, even the ones that are still in progress. It’s a privilege to glance backward and see...
This January marks 15 years since we relaunched Homestead Heights Baptist Church as The Summit Church. I’ve been here for all 15 of those wonderful, exciting, and often hair-raising years, and I have never ceased to be amazed at what God has chosen to do here....
