How then shall we live? In Romans 12, Paul challenges us by looking not to the big moments but to the everyday through the example of a life in love. Indeed, Christian life does not only capture our minds — how to think about love — but our entire selves: our identity. Join us as we explore Romans 12 together and experience the practice of becoming a people of love.
More information for Summit 2026 is coming soon! Below is a recap of our time at Summit in 2025.
2025 FEATURED SPEAKERS
Throughout Summit, we had the opportunity to hear from four incredibly talented speakers: Nijay Gupta, Naomi Walters, Jerry Taylor, and Nathan Burrow.
Additionally, United Voice Worship led us in worship throughout Summit.
Additional Gatherings
We were grateful to have three additional gatherings at Summit. Preceding Summit, the Community of Women Ministers gathered for dinner at 5:00 pm in the Hunter Welcome Center. On Thursday afternoon, there was our Chaplains Lunch in the World Famous Bean during the lunch break. Finally, we had a Selah/Spiritual Direction Breakfast at 7:30 am on Friday.

THE VISION FOR SUMMIT
We’re hearing that today’s Christian leaders crave opportunities to gather with others who serve in similar capacities, to encourage one another, and to forge relationships that extend beyond the bounds of a conference schedule. Learn more about these strategic shifts towards community.
