What is a Disciple?

A disciple of Jesus is a worshiper, family member, servant, steward, and witness. These identities are not random or isolated but are unified in the person of Christ. So, growing as a whole disciple is growing more into Christ, and becoming more “like Christ.”

What is Our Plan?

The Whole Disciple is how everything we do at The Summit works together to grow disciples to do what Jesus sent us to do– Make Disciples Who Make Disciples Who Make Disciples
