WELCOME TO THE SUMMIT

NICE TO MEET YOU!

Visiting a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking! But having an idea of what to expect can help.

​From the moment you arrive at The Summit, we want you to feel at home. There are many places you could have chosen to worship on any given Sunday, but you came here and we want your experience with Jesus and The Summit to be impacting and lasting.

Here are a few things that will stand out during your time with us.

Our Mission

The Summit Church exists to influence the City of Edmonton, the Province of Alberta, and the Nation of Canada with the Spirit of Revival.

One Service

Join the morning service at 10 am. After the service, visit the Welcome Corner for prayer, connection and your free book from Summit Global Publishing.

Our Community

From family groups and discipleship classes to SHOP nights, there are so many ways to meet people at church and pursue Jesus together.

YOU SAID YES!

You said yes to Jesus. Now what’s next?

Download this small ebook and discover more about what your decision to follow Jesus means.

Together, we’ll answer questions like “what does this mean,” “what should I do,” and “what does this change?” Our hope is that this tool can provide guidance as you begin your journey of following Jesus.

CORE VALUES

  • Family & community is the relational framework in The Bible and the means by which we do life together. With God as our Father, we as brothers & sisters in Christ make up the family of God.

    "Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common."
    Acts 4:32

  • This means we walk in an intimate & burning personal communion and relationship with Jesus, our life source.

    "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit..."

    John 15:4-5

  • The awakening of passion, devotion & desire for God through intimate devotion. As the manifest goodness of God moves in the lives of individuals, families, churches, cities & regions, it ultimately establishes The Kingdom throughout the world and culture.

    "Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven."

    Matthew 6:10

  • Get your hopes up, friend! All of God’s plans for your life are good. We believe that in all circumstances, there is hope and expectation for the glory and goodness of God to be revealed.

    "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful."

    Hebrews 10:23

STATEMENT OF FAITH

    • There is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent - one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

    • The Bible is to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

    • Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.

    • The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s Kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man."

    • We are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.

    • In the ongoing sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister supernaturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and Acts 2:4 is poured out on believers that they might have God’s power to be His witnesses.

    • The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness and torment.

    • The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave his church the ordinances of Baptism and Communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, discipling the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.

    • In the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign with His overcoming bride – the church.

    • Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.

WHAT SUNDAYS LOOK LIKE

  • At The Summit we have a culture of prayer.  We encourage people to come early and engage with God and to pray for what will happen in the service.  During our pre-service prayer time you’ll experience prayer from our prayer leader in the front as well as times of worship.  We invite you to join us and engage in what God is doing.

  • At 10:00 our main service begins. If you have children from 2 yrs old to grade 6 that would like to attend kids church, it’s best to register at the beginning of service.  Near our main entrance you will find iPad’s and volunteers that can help get you checked in. Once you have registered your children, everyone (including your children) can head into the sanctuary for worship. (Nursing Moms, we have a room just for you at the back of the sanctuary that's available to use during the service.)

    At The Summit we have a high value for worship, which is why we want everyone to participate.  Worship generally lasts about 50 minutes, but it may last longer.  We do our best to be responsive to the Holy Spirit and so if we feel that the Holy Spirit is moving in worship, we want to partner with that and not move on too quickly.

  • Around this time we will transition from worship.  During transition a few things happen:

    • 5 minute greeting time - This is a great time to meet some new people around you.  If you need to use the washroom or would like to grab a drink in our cafe, you can do that as well.  This is also the time to take younger children to kids church.

    • Dismiss the children - The facilitator will call the children forward to pray for them, and then they are dismissed to go to their classrooms.  A teacher will walk with them to their classroom.  If your children are in kindergarten or younger, we ask that you would walk them to the back to make sure they make it to class.

    • Announcements - Following greeting time a short video will play with announcements about upcoming events

    Offering - The facilitator will give a short offering message.  Offering is the privilege and responsibility of our church family so please feel no obligation to give. 

  • At the end of every service we will have a team of people available to pray with you.

    Also, please make sure to go back to the welcome table to receive your free gift.

*Times are our best approximations, but are subject to change based on the movement of the Holy Spirit
