Planted for Denver
Founded in 2011 by a small team from Raleigh-Durham, NC, The Summit Church has a simple vision: to follow Jesus together in Denver. Rooted in the RiNo Arts District, we are committed to being shaped by God’s presence and inviting others to encounter His transforming love—found in His word, formed in community, and enjoyed through prayer and worship.
