Launch Your Kids Prepared to Lead
Welcome! You are officially Summit Parents!
What an incredible journey we’ve been on. It is our joy to honor our graduates for their dedication and hard work to deepen their understanding of biblical truth and their relationship with Jesus. Below you’ll find much of the content we’ve emailed over the past few weeks, including key encouragement from Summit staff and links to further resources.

What's Next?
We have an entire Graduate Support Program dedicated to making sure your son or daughter has what he or she needs to keep engaging their sphere of influence with God’s truth. Check out this video from our Director of Graduate Support, and Summit Ministries graduate (Class of 1997), David Stubblefield.
The Prepared Project equips parents like you to bring hope to the rising generation by helping more students attend Summit Student Conferences. As a Summit Ambassador, you’ll partner with us to encourage families, engage your community, and share biblical worldview training that your student experienced.
Students who attend Summit’s Gap Year program find themselves between two seasons of life. They seek community and direction as they leave home and enter adulthood. This community offers an experience that will take a student’s faith and propel them to engage the world with a strong biblical foundation.

$33 to Change a Life
Thank you for entrusting your student to us at Summit Ministries for a student conference two weeks ago! We are honored to partner with you in helping your son or daughter go deeper in their understanding of biblical worldview, and we are committed to see their generations mobilized to transform a broken world.
We’ve done the math and know how much it costs to reach young leaders and teach them about God’s truth. Your gift of $33 today will sponsor a full hour of classroom teaching, which can change the next student’s life trajectory.
Parent Feedback
Don’t miss this opportunity to help inform and guide future Summit Ministries conferences through this vital survey. Your experience as a parent is essential to us, and we need your thoughts and ideas about the Student Conference your student recently attended.
The survey can take up to 15 minutes to complete. We have some important decisions to make, and we need your guidance. Once completed, you will be entered to win a $100 gift card (one winner will be selected per session).
Check your email to take the survey before Monday after graduation.
