Our Mission in God's World

The mission of the UMC of Summit is to worship God and serve humanity. As individuals and as a congregation, we respond to God's call to be active witnesses in the joyful Good News as proclaimed by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. In order to fulfill our mission the UMC of Summit is called to do the following:

  1. Provide opportunities for meaningful Christian worship, education, and fellowship for children, youth, adults, and families.
  2. Be a community of persons who love and care for others in all circumstances, supporting each other in times of joy, sorrow, and need within our congregation and beyond.
  3. Reach out to others regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnic identity with the unconditional love of God encouraging them to become a part of our community of faith.
  4. Help people grow spiritually, giving them the tools necessary to deal with the challenges and opportunities that come in their day-to-day experiences.
  5. Support and uphold our congregation, the community, and the world with our prayers, presence, gifts, and service.
