“While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.Acts 13:2–3

Featured Initiatives

Encourage a Missionary!

Send a Letter

Send a Letter

When missionaries were first sent out from the early church, the only way to communicate long distance was through a sent letter. Corresponding this way was very costly, yet invaluable for connection and mutual encouragement in Christ and His mission. Two thousands years later, all of us are invited into the continuation of this same mission, needing the very same connection and encouragement. To that end, read freshly written letters from our missionaries to us (available online and printed copies in lobby). Additionally, let’s write letters to our various missionaries! Find missions themed letter templates in the lobby or use your own paper. Letter drop off in the mailbox posted in the lobby will be sent to our missionaries for their encouragement.

Middle East

Six Summitview individuals intend to serve in various locations in the Middle East. One has arrived, with the other five planning staggered arrivals in 2026-28. Each will inititally focus on language learning, with the hope of gospel sharing among unreached people.

Asia

Some of the most unreached peoples live in a cluster of countries in Central Asia. With fresh teammates and opportunities, Emily continues laboring in a Central Asian country with the goal of opening up gospel ministry to yet another new unreached people group.

Patrick moved with a team of three to Hong Kong in 2018. After ministering with the team for two years, Patrick chose to stay and earn a PhD at a local university and support a small church in the city. In 2022, Patrick married Karina, and then completed his PhD at the end of 2023. Having now welcomed their first baby this past year, Patrick and Karina continue working in Hong Kong while helping to lead the church and disciple young people.

Japan

We have been supporting missions work in Japan in different ways for several years. Becky and Dusty are both part of teams that are doing gospel work among what could be considered the largest unreached people group in the world.

International Student Ministry

Utilizing her outreach and language experience, April longs to bring the gospel to the 2,500 international students from 110+ nations at CSU. Raised funds will help enable her ongoing international campus outreach for the ’26-’27 school year.

Jim & Helen Layman arrived in Fort Collins in 2024 to bring leadership to the Bridges International team at CSU doing international student ministry. They love being part of the Summitview church family, bringing international students to our services, and collaborating with our international student ministry. Funds raised will cover food costs for annual Bridges International outreach events for meeting students.

Severance Church Plant

Roger Everhart has spearheaded a church planting effort in recent years to the neighboring town of Severance. In the last year especially, there has been noticable growth as newcomers fill the Everhart home! We are raising money to continue freeing up part of Roger’s time to devote himself to those church-planting efforts.

Sender Trips and Missionary Care

Sending church leaders/members is an essential and invaluable aspect of supporting our missionaries.These resources would stipend the costs for leaders/members to periodically visit our missionaries on the field.

Caring for missionaries is crucial for long term effectiveness. Let’s be ready to cover costs to send items for their encouragement. Could also be used for preparatory trainings, unexpected/urgent expenses, debriefing, missions campaign costs or whatever other needs arise.

Short Term Missions Trips

A short term mission trip is an amazing opportunity for broadening one’s perspective of world missions. A little bit goes a long way in helping a Summitview member pay to experience a short term mission trip!

Amsterdam Long-Term Missionaries (primarily to refugees)

Patricia Van Engelen (formerly Patricia Flynn) started following Christ at Summitview before helping to plant a church in Amsterdam in 2002. She and her now husband, Matthijs, are now missionaries in Amsterdam, primarily ministering to refugees from the Middle East.
