The Summit Path · Faith, Baptism & Membership

Discover

The foundations of following Jesus: knowing Him, declaring your faith through baptism, and making this church family your home.

Faith

Start with Jesus

Whether you’ve never opened a Bible or you’ve been in church your whole life, the most important question is the same: who is Jesus, and what will you do with Him? We’d love to walk with you as you explore.

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”John 14:6

The gospel in four words

  1. CreatedGod made us in His image to know and enjoy Him.
  2. SeparatedOur sin separates us from a holy God, and we cannot fix it ourselves.
  3. RescuedJesus lived the life we couldn’t, died in our place, and rose again.
  4. RestoredAll who turn from sin and trust in Christ alone are forgiven and made new.

Baptism

I have decided to follow Jesus

No turning back.

Jesus commanded His followers to be baptized. Baptism doesn’t save you. It’s an act of obedience and a public profession of faith, picturing dying to sin and rising to new life with Him (Romans 6:4). Like a wedding ring, it publicly identifies a covenant that already exists. We practice believer’s baptism by immersion.

Membership · Covenant Partnership

Make Summit Life your church home

God never meant for us to follow Jesus alone. He places His people in local church families where they worship, grow, and serve together. At Summit Life, we call membership Covenant Partnership. It isn’t a passive affiliation, but an active, mutual commitment between our church family and the elders who shepherd it (Acts 20:28; Hebrews 13:17).

Register for the New Members Class
1

Trust Christ and be baptized

Covenant Partners are believers who have been baptized. Haven’t been baptized yet? Start there.

2

Attend the New Members Class

A one-time session right after Sunday service. We’ll walk through why the local church matters, what we believe, and what Covenant Partnership involves.

3

Meet with an elder

After the class, you’ll sit down with one of our elders to share your faith story, ask any questions, and pray together about whether Summit Life is your church home.

After meeting with an elder, you commit to the four covenant responsibilities below and become a Covenant Partner of Summit Life.
