As we look ahead to Summit, we are excited to announce this year’s theme: “Encounter: Spirit of the Living God.” As the active presence of God in the world, the Holy Spirit works in our lives to guide, empower, and transform us. Come and find renewal and refreshment with us as we encounter the Spirit of the living God.
