In keeping with Jesus' directive to "be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8), Summit is dedicated to involvement in and support of local and international missions. We strive to be faithful "senders" and to partner with those in the field who are sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Covenant World Mission facilitates intercultural ministries around the world and partners with churches and international believers to glorify God's name by bringing the whole gospel to the whole world (website)
