Give

Recently, we got the chance to sit down with John Parker, Summit’s Local and Global Outreach Pastor, and what he had to say about our four upcoming trips to visit some of Summit’s global partners was inspirational. John’s insight into the importance and strategy of these key engagements reminded us how important this ongoing kingdom work in Kenya, Malawi, and Ethiopia is and how blessed we are to call Summit home.

Our founders believed it was important for Summit to model what it looks like to go above and beyond regarding giving. In fact, you’ll sometimes hear our speakers call the ten percent tithe “the radical minimum standard” when citing reasons to give to the local church, our church’s budget has modeled this principle since day one.

So, where does this 15 percent go, and who decides? These are great questions all Summit partners should be asking! After all, 15 percent of our church’s budget is a significant chunk of change!
