Baptisms
Ready to be baptized? Baptisms are coming up on July 20!
At Summit, we believe that baptism is a symbolic and public proclamation of what Jesus has done in your life and an act of obedience for every Christian. If you have trusted in Jesus as Lord and Savior, and have not yet been baptized as a believer, we'd love to invite you to be baptized!
Baptisms typically take place every few months, and the next available time is Sunday, July 20. For more information on upcoming Baptisms at Summit, and/or to apply, visit the links below!
