Our mission at The Summit Church is "Following the Holy Spirit, we exist to create a movement of disciple-making disciples in RDU and around the world." Because Jesus came for us, we go for the sake of others! In Italy, we want to help our partners by (1) expanding the reach of their ministry by providing an increased presence in their ministry efforts, (2) encouraging their local church partners, and (3) raising up new prayer advocates who will intercede on behalf of the lostness in the city. We will also prioritize care for our field partner by being present through prayer, conversation, encouragement, and fellowship. We will also engage with college students through evangelism, interacting with local youth and their parents, participating in and helping facilitate Bible studies and English classes, as well as serving in a variety of other ways (ex: cleaning) to care for our partners all to God's glory! **This trip will require large amounts of walking every day (20,000+ steps/day), including hills and stairs.**

This team will be going to encourage our long term field partners in South Asia. We will come alongside them as they minister to local believers in an English speaking fellowship, following I Thessalonians 5:14 “warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.” Specifically, we will be prayer walking, doing street evangelism, and encouraging the local believers and field partners. There also may be opportunities for some community ministry work. ***Please be aware that where we are going is extremely hot, we will be doing a lot of walking, and we will need to be flexible as plans often change.

The purpose of this trip is to assist the field team with increasing proclamation and increasing prayer in neighborhoods throughout their city. Within the city of 3 million people, almost all have never heard the Good News and have no idea who Jesus truly is. The team will go out into English speaking areas of the city and engage in prayer walking, gospel conversations, and make connections to help the local team map out different parts of the city that will be used to increase prayer.

This team will be partnering with a local church to help them reach their community and implement their new discipleship strategy. We will explore the city as we prayer walk, and will use team members' specific gifts to help strengthen and encourage the local body of believers. *Dates are just an estimate at this time. Please reach out to the trip leader for more information.*

This trip will involve activities at a local high school and in the community. Most of the work will be sports oriented, but the emphasis will be on engaging with people to share the gospel. Previous sports experience is preferred, but not required. *The dates are just an estimate at this time. Please reach out to the trip leader for more information.*

We will be traveling to the Czech Republic to visit one of our Summit missionaries to partner alongside them in their middle school & high school student ministry to Czechs. We will prioritize care to our field partner by being present through prayer, conversation, encouragement, and fellowship. We'll also have the opportunity to engage with the local Czech ministry team as well as host an English class to support youth events with our field partner.

City Project is a two-month, intensive discipleship and missional experience where college students serve locally, nationally, and internationally. City Project includes five weeks in Wake Forest, one week with one of our American church plants, and two weeks overseas. Students learn how to apply the gospel to every aspect of their lives and make disciples who make disciples. These eight weeks immerse students in the local church and global cities and teach them how to practically love God, love each other, and love our world. Students travel to one of our domestic church plants for one week to serve the church and the city and get a glimpse of what it looks like to plant a domestic church. The middle of the summer includes several weeks in Wake Forest, North Carolina, receiving practical theological and ministry training by pastors and teachers at the Summit. During this time, students will learn to effectively share the gospel and give their lives away in RDU in response to the gospel. During the last two weeks of the summer, students will travel abroad to serve alongside Summit church planters. This is an excellent opportunity to explore the mission of God, develop a heart for the nations, and better understand what it means to leverage your life for the gospel of Jesus Christ. City Project is open to college students only.

Second City is a two-month, intensive, international discipleship and missional program. Students spend a brief time training at the Summit and are then sent to Miami, Europe, South Asia, or Southeast Asia for eight weeks to work alongside Summit church planters and partners. Each team is made up of four to eight students and led by Summit College staff members. This is a great opportunity for any upperclassman to grow deeper in their understanding of the global mission of God and truly put their faith into practice!

Join us as we support our long-term field partners through encouragement and community-based service projects. Where we’re going is incredibly beautiful, but remains hostile to the gospel. Our prayer is that we would be able to open strategic doors for our Summit family’s business and for the gospel to go forward! This will be a time for intercessional prayer & worker encouragement; a time for us to grow in discipleship, listen to God and each other.

Visit one of Summit's newest church plants in a global city of Malaysia. Partner with the local church and refugee ministry to share the love and word of Christ to the nations. Those interested should have a heart for Jesus, a heart for learning, and a heart for service. And come ready to eat!

Come visit Southeast Asia to serve and work alongside Summit’s field partners in ministering to residents and tourists in a city with the potential to influence the world with the gospel. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to engage those from every major world religion from some of the least reached parts of the world.

San Pedro Sula is one of the largest cities in Honduras but is filled with some of the least resourced communities in the world. Join us as we work alongside Sparrow Missions for a week of ministry. We will assist their ongoing ministry in senior centers, a community for displaced people, a local school, and two church plants. We are excited to have your family join in all that the Lord is doing in Honduras.

Join us for an overseas childcare opportunity with kids ages 6-10. The trip includes two travel days, one day for team outings, and five days of engaging, active childcare similar to VBS. We are expecting over 100 children in this age range and are hoping to bring over 30 volunteers. We need you!! Children 16 years and older are welcome to come if accompanied by a parent. Unfortunately, younger children are not able to come due to the high volume of kids who will already be in attendance.
