The Rest of the Story: Andy’s Sabbatical

Genesis 1:31-2:3 

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

If you’ve ever seen Base Camp Live, you know a high-energy production like our team puts on that’s also fun for the whole family is almost unheard of. Our Teach Team has even become a unique feature in recent years, leveraging various voices and backgrounds. Summit’s variety of worship styles might even be a highlight brought up with friends and family. Perhaps the most unique thing about Summit, though, is something that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. So, what is it?
