Rise to your peak

Ozarks Summit’s primary focus areas are to:

  • Invest in our communities through a variety of service outreach programs. Specifically, we will look for opportunities to come alongside our schools, churches, civic organizations, and local/city agencies to serve our neighbors in need. (Galatians 5:13; Mark 10:45)

  • Reduce the cycles of poverty, fatherlessness, and children in foster care by offering a Christ-centered youth mentoring program to the communities we serve. (Galatians 6:2; James 1:27; Psalm 68:5-6)

  • Unite the local church and communities through events in order to provide opportunities for connection, prayer, and fellowship in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.  

    (1 Peter 3:8; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27)
