UPCOMING
Baptism Sunday | Easter Sunday, April 9
If you are a believer in Christ but have never been baptized, we encourage you to take this significant step of obedience. Baptism is a powerful, public proclamation of one’s faith in Christ and an expression of one’s desire to be known as a Christ-follower. If you want to be baptized or to talk about baptism, fill out the Baptism Request form at www.summitcrossing.org/baptism.
Secret Church 2023 | April 21, 6pm – midnight
We’d love for you to join us as we livestream Secret Church this year! Secret Church helps us identify with our persecuted brothers and sisters who actually meet in secret—often late at night—to study God’s Word for hours at a time—at great personal risk. It’s a unique gathering like no other that we love hosting each year. This year, David Platt will be teaching on the book of Jonah and its relevance to our lives and the world around us today. We’ll hear stories of God moving in hard places, and we’ll pray for the persecuted church in Iran. The first 100 people to register get in free! More details and register HERE.
