Our vision at The Summit Church is to create a movement of disciple-making disciples in RDU (Raleigh-Durham) and around the world. Through The Summit Institute, you’ll be developed and discipled through hands-on ministry experiences, biblical and theological training, and one-on-one mentoring—all within the context of the local church.
Of all the resources you’ll gain for ministry, none is more valuable than personal investment from those who’ve gone before you. That’s why every participant in The Summit Institute is paired with a seasoned mentor to help you grow in spiritual maturity, confident humility, self-awareness, leadership, ownership, and direction.
If you’re sensing a call to ministry—or just want to grow in your capacity to lead—we’d love to walk with you in this next season.

“ Summit trusts you as an intern. You are not just running to get coffee or being trusted to set up the parking lot on Sunday... They teach you tools for ministry weekly, and you also have a space to apply all the knowledge you are receiving. ”
“ My favorite experience from the Summit Institute Apprenticeship is being surrounded by so many men and women that have stepped out in faith to pursue their calling in ministry. ”
