Hispanic Ministry

Summit en Español

As an active manifestation of God's presence in the world, the Holy Spirit acts in our lives to guide, strengthen, and transform us. The Spirit is our Comforter, Counselor, and Advocate, giving us strength in times of weakness and wisdom in times of uncertainty. At this fall's Summit, we invite you to participate in a renewed experience with the Holy Spirit as we seek to deepen our relationship with God and reflect the image of Christ in the world.

COMMUNITY DETAILS

We are honored once again to have Dr. Omar Palafox and Alejandro Ezquerra leading the Hispanic ministry community at Summit. Their continued guidance over the course of multiple Summits has been incredibly formative for all who attend this community. Stay tuned for more information on this community and the invited speakers as they explore the theme of Encounter: Spirit of the Living God.
