Second City

What is Second City?

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, Africa, 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!

“I’m learning that life is found in losing it for Christ. The call to follow him is a call to join him in the sufferings he faced. Therefore, we lose our lives for the joy set before us. South Asia has stripped away certain luxuries I’ve always clung to, and in their absence, I am able to cling to Christ.”

Austin Jacobs, Second City

“Seeing the power of God work in a context that is closed to the idea of the gospel is a powerful experience…Without overstatement, I can confidently say that this summer was the most spiritually formative time of my life. The experience of giving away a summer to a church-led experience like this is something that I would recommend to anyone.”

Justin Leitch, Second City
