RISE TO YOUR PEAK
Ozarks Summit Ministries 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)
