Local Sending

God is making a great name for himself in RDU and among the nations, and he has called all Christians to be an active part of his mission. It is our firm belief that every member of the church can be a part of this task. We call all of Summit’s local sending ServeRDU.

Every member at The Summit Church has the opportunity to participate in the work the Lord is doing in RDU. First and foremost, every Christian can pray. Pray for the poor and marginalized and pray for that we would love our neighbors holistically. Second, every Christian can serve. Join one of our ServeRDU teams and connect to your campus’ plan to serve year-round and see your community transformed.

The Summit Church has established ministries focusing on eight groups of vulnerable and marginalized neighbors.

Partnerships

We partner with like-minded organizations which bring training, infrastructure, and strategy. The church brings community, relationships, and the gospel. We focus on shared values and objectives, recognizing that as our people engage with their communities, they are bringing Jesus into the mix. Serving is often an effective way to demonstrate the transformational power of the gospel.
