I give you peace, the kind of peace only I can give.
John 14:27
It isn’t like the peace the world can give.
So don’t be worried or afraid.
We are closely monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and will be posting frequent updates here. Text SUMMITUPDATES to 94000 to receive text alerts giving updated information.
Summit Church Services Online Only
Until Further Notice
In cooperation with the mandate of public health officials in addressing the coronavirus, we have made the decision to offer services ONLINE ONLY until further notice. Services will be streamed online during regular service times at live.summitpa.church. We’re so grateful for technology that allows us to continue to have church online and know that God will still meet us as we worship together!
ONLINE SERVICES
Our online services are a great place to experience community, worship together, and continue to grow in God’s Word. During the service, you can connect with our community in the chat, submit private prayer requests or praise reports, and give online.
- Our weekend messages will be streamed at live.summitpa.church at 4:30 + 6:30pm on Saturdays, and at 9:00 + 11:00am on Sundays.
- Our junior high + high school ministry, Summit Youth, will be streamed on YouTube on Wednesdays at 7:00pm.
- Summit Kids has an online experience at Summit Kids Online
We realize that some of our Summit Church Family do not have access to reliable internet. If you have been unable to watch Church Online or our Sermon Archives Online, you may request a DVD of the sermon to be mailed to you.
We love you more than you know and are working tirelessly to offer you opportunities to connect with us and others online, get the help and ministry you need, and walk in peace during this time.

SMALL GROUPS
Small Groups are especially important during this time when many people have needs and may be experiencing stress or isolation. Most groups have now switched to make it possible to be part of your group online using free tools like Google Hangouts and Zoom. In some instances, groups are still having smaller numbers of people gather in person, while of course observing all the necessary precautions around group size, social distancing and asking those who are unwell to join online. If you belong to a Small Group and aren’t sure if your group is meeting in person or online, contact your Small Group Leader.
COVID-19 CARE
COVID-19 is affecting all of us in different ways. As the church, we are uniquely equipped to bring the light of Jesus to those around us in this time. Whether you’re in a position of needing help, or you’re able to give help, you’ll find everything you need to know on this page.
PRAYER REQUESTS
Our Prayer Team is committed to interceding on your behalf through prayer during this time. You can submit prayer requests on during Church Online or throughout the week with our online form. The Prayer Team is standing by and ready to be praying for you.

Relational + Physical Support
The Love Your Neighbor – A Summit Reach Initiative seeks to serve single parent families, the elderly, widowed, and immune-compromised to provide relational and physical support. We want to be sure that they are well-loved and cared for at this time.
We will be assisting with basic tasks or errands that may require public presence:
• Groceries, medication pickup, essential errands, diapers, formula
• Calling, texting, face-time calls to pray and connect with those in need
MEETING NEEDS IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
