The Bible makes clear that God doesn’t begrudge His people the rewards of a life well lived. He doesn’t call someone a fool because he’s successful.

Hi Summitiers! I just wanted to take a moment and celebrate the many ways the Summit family has touched the lives of others through their generosity! I know we’ve mentioned a lot of them already (so some of this might be a bit of a recap) but there are several I didn’t have a chance […]
