Summitview

Because we believe the local church should not have ongoing leadership or financial commitments to projects beyond its own locality, but believe these projects should, with time, develop their own leadership and financial resources, SNI projects have a pre-determined time period of local church involvement as spiritual responsibility is passed on to local leaders as well as regional and apostolic leadership. Our desire, and we believe God's plan, is to take part in establishing New Testament disciples and churches that are not only self-supporting, but are committed to reproducing New Testament communities beyond themselves.

These projects are initiatives of the Holy Spirit, begun as leaders or members of our church are called by God to develop them. We believe that as a church is focused on following and honoring God, God Himself will call men and women to the work He has for them (Acts 13:2). Oftentimes (although not always) God's intent will be for the local church to take ownership of making these initiatives successful. As these Holy Spirit-initiated works are confirmed through prayer, time, and counsel, the financial needs will be made known to the local body by church leadership. Special gifts beyond the regular tithe can be given as God leads individuals to be involved. If individuals outside of Summitview have a desire to support a particular initiative they are welcome to do so, but SNI is not a fundraising organization beyond the local church and will not actively seek support that way.

These initiatives could be fruitful opportunities in our own town that produce Kingdom building beyond the scope of what Summitview could do through its regular resources. SNI projects include churches we ourselves start down the street or across the globe.  These initiatives often include key partnerships in which we are able to share with other local bodies not only financial responsibility but other areas of involvement as well. Any Great Commission project beyond the reach of the local ministry of Summitview Community Church is in the the sphere of Summitview Next-culture Initiatives.
