Today we leave for Gulf Coast Bible Camp and that is something that, especially our kids and teens, look forward to all year: Bible Camp. There’s something about it that is just different. The songs hit a little deeper, the lessons stick a little longer, and the friendships formed often last a lifetime. It’s more than just fun and games, though there’s plenty of that too, it’s a spiritual high point. It’s a time when distractions fade and hearts are more open to hearing God’s

Today we celebrate Mother’s Day, and I want to take a moment to say “Happy Mother's Day” to all the wonderful mothers here at Summerdale! We are truly blessed by the love, example, and influence of so many Godly women in this congregation. Your faith, strength, and kindness shape not only your families but this church family as well. When I think about mothers in the Bible, I’m reminded of Hannah. She prayed earnestly for a child, and when God answered her prayer, she kept he

Today is a special day for our church family as we honor four incredible young people: Zoe, Cloe, Aubri, and Kile. It’s hard to believe that their time in the youth group is coming to an end and they are about to begin a brand-new chapter of life. We are so proud of the men and women they have become. Each of them has left a mark on our hearts. We have watched them grow—not just in age, but in faith, character, and love for the Lord. Their smiles, their service, and their spi

What an amazing weekend we had at Lads to Leaders! It was so uplifting to see all of our kids’ hard work pay off. We had several that were finalists in their events, including three that were participating in the competition for the first time! We even had two kids who won first place in the Mass Media competition and because of the year-round events every kid that went got at least one medal; most got several. Winning is always fun but when I was watching the kids this weeke

In our teen class on Wednesday nights, we have been studying a series entitled “Finding Our Identity in Christ”. We have been looking at how we can identify ourselves by Christ’s standards and not the worlds. In Matthew 16:13–20, Jesus asks a question that echoes through the centuries: “Who do you say that I am?” It’s a moment of deep significance—not just for Peter and the disciples—but for every one of us. Our answer to that question reveals not only what we believe about J
