Experience Our Christian Camp and Conference All Rolled Into One
We have to fight for the soul of the next generation before they surrender a biblical worldview. The Summit conference does just that. Two weeks at Summit helps ground students’ biblical worldview. They will be equipped as they face the attacks of the world that leave too many with their faith in shambles. Numerous studies report that more than half of Christian students walk away from their faith in college. Yet, our longitudinal study revealed that 93% of Summit Conference participants were still actively engaged in church 10 years after attending our training.
“Summit was a game-changing experience for me, as a student! While on a radio interview, I was asked, ‘If you had just one piece of advice for parents to help their kids hold onto their faith, what would that be?’ It’s easy, send your kids to Summit!”
"Without question Summit is the premiere worldwide training program in the nation for students who desire to learn the skills of thinking critically and living compassionately. This generation is facing an unprecedented moral crisis. The hope for our future is to equip young men and women with the wisdom and vision needed to contend in the marketplace of ideas with a Christ-centered, ethical clarity that produces human flourishing for all. We must never forget that ideas have consequences and bad ideas have victims. By helping students learn what is true, good and beautiful, Summit inspires and instills the best ideas for a rightly ordered life and world.”

Teaching Children to Build a Resilient Foundation of Faith
Mission 2:20 doesn’t just teach Bible stories and moral lessons; ministry leaders are equipped to apply the faith of people in the Bible to a child’s everyday life.
Mission 2:20 is perfect for any weekend or Wednesday night class. Each lesson is written at age-appropriate levels for early, middle, and upper elementary students. It is easy to teach and takes students through two years of material during the fall, winter, and spring seasons.
WORLDVIEW SMALL GROUP STUDY
Is Belief in Jesus Enough in a Culture of Doubt?
Now We Live invites and equips Christians to propel faith into action. This free, worldview Bible study will spark rich discussions about some of life’s most foundational questions. These six videos from Summit Ministries offer life-on-life discipleship for churches, small groups, and families.
This six-episode study, led by well-known Christian voices, will address the following questions:
