MIDWEEK MINISTRIES AT SUMMITVILLE
Start Around the Table
Free Community Meal for All
Wednesday evenings at Summitville Wesleyan begin with a free community meal from 5:30–6:30 PM in the Family Ministry Center. Come when you can, grab a plate, and enjoy a meal with your family, friends, and neighbors before the evening’s activities begin. There’s no cost and no membership requirement. We know that busy schedules, long workdays, homework, and simply figuring out dinner can make it difficult for families to add one more thing to the week. Our hope is to remove one of those barriers by taking care of dinner and providing a welcoming place to slow down and connect. Everyone in our community is invited. There’s a place at the table for you.
Wednesday nights at Summitville Kids are a place for kids to have fun while learning what it means to know and follow Jesus. From 6:30–7:30 PM, kids will enjoy music, Bible lessons, crafts, and hands-on activities designed to encourage discipleship and growing faith. Our trained and qualified adult volunteers are committed to providing a warm, welcoming, and secure environment where every child can belong and grow.
Summitville Teens is a welcoming place for students in 6th–12th grade to connect, have fun, and grow in their faith. From 6:30–7:30 PM, teens will enjoy activities, time with friends, and meaningful study in God’s Word, including a journey through the book of James. Led by Pastor Joey and Stacie, our focus goes beyond simply keeping students entertained—we want to disciple teens as they learn to follow Jesus and make their faith their own.
Summitville Adults offers a place to slow down, open God’s Word, and grow alongside others from 6:30–7:30 PM. Choose from two class options, including Scripture Mapping with Shirley Fisher, an approachable way to dig deeper into Scripture and better understand its meaning and context. A second class will offer another practical opportunity to explore faith, engage in meaningful conversation, and grow as a follower of Jesus. Come as you are, bring your questions, and grow with us.
