2025-08-02 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Summit Northwest Ministries, 1486 W Seltice Way, POST FALLS, ID, 83854-8110, United States
Speaker: Jim Christianson
This week, Jim Christianson will share his take on our summer theme with the sermon: “Who Do You Think You Are?”. In our chaotic world, sometimes it can be difficult to let go of all the lies and live in God’s truth. This week, we’ll take a look at these concepts and how identity is often shaped by the things we believe.

Together
2025-08-09 11:00 - 12:30 | Summit Northwest Ministries, 1486 W Seltice Way, POST FALLS, ID, 83854-8110, United States
From the beginning, God’s heart has been set on being with us—not above us or distant from us, but walking beside us. “Together” explores the deep biblical theme of God’s desire for relationship and presence, and how that same longing extends to our human need for connection. In a world that prizes independence, we are reminded that we were created for community—with God and with one another.

What I Want to Want
2025-09-06 11:00 - 12:30 | Summit Northwest Ministries, 1486 W Seltice Way, POST FALLS, ID, 83854-8110, United States
Speaker: Jim Christianson
We all come to Jesus with an agenda—our plans, our dreams, our will. But sooner or later, God’s will collides with ours. The question is: will we cling tighter to our will, or open our hands and pray, “God, I want what You want more than what I want”?

Identity 1: Me
2025-09-13 11:00 - 12:30
Discovering who we truly are can feel overwhelming—especially when we’re forced to confront the messy, hidden parts of ourselves. But that journey of self-discovery takes a powerful turn when we realize we’re already deeply and unconditionally loved. Too often, we say “God loves us” without really grasping the depth of what that means. In this message, we’ll pause and reflect on that truth: what does it look like to actually embrace God’s love, not just with our words, but in our identity? And if we did, how would it change how we see ourselves and live our lives?

Identity 2: Me and You
2025-09-20 11:00 - 12:30
We’ve all heard the phrase, “God is all I need.” But is that the whole story? While God is central to our identity, Jesus modeled something deeply relational—He didn’t change the world through force or isolation, but through companionship and community. This message explores how our identity isn’t just about “me,” but also about “you.” What if we truly need each other to become who we’re meant to be? What if others need the best version of us just as much as we need the best from them? Join us as we dig into the power of relational identity and the sacred role of community in our spiritual journey.

Identity: Citizens of a Kingdom
2025-09-27 11:00 - 12:30
We love the idea of a Savior and a Father, but sometimes the idea of having a King… it just rubs us the wrong way. Someone ruling over us? Belonging to someone else? In our culture, there is no higher authority than the individual self. But is that actually who Jesus made us to be?

Identity: Holy-ish
2025-10-04 11:00 - 12:30
Fundamentalism is the root of many Christian traditions, but in an effort to align ourselves with
We are actually called to be holy—set aside, special, unique. But what does that look like as a Seventh-day Adventist? Hint: it might not be our belief system, and it might not be about pointing fingers. By judging the judgmental, you become one of them.

2025-10-11 11:00 - 12:30

Forged Men's Weekend 2025
2025-10-17 17:00 - 2025-10-19 13:00 | Camp Mivoden, 17415 E Hayden Lake Rd, Hayden, ID, 83835, United States
Forged: Wrought in the Fire
Forged began when a group of men from Summit Northwest Ministries decided they weren’t satisfied with status quo Christianity. They wanted to become better husbands, fathers, boyfriends, brothers, men in their community. They also decided that the Christian life is not meant to be dull or boring. Instead, it is an adventure requiring bravery, courage, and grit. It is not only filled with battles to be fought and challenges to be overcome, but also should include joy and a few good-natured shenanigans. This led to the creation of a movement focused on growth and building a strong community of Christian men.
The Forged weekend is designed for men who don’t normally go to retreats. It is a chance to connect with a group of guys, participate in some weekend shenanigans, support each other and be challenged to grow. Whether you are a someone who likes to blow things up, or who would rather hang out and heckle those who do, this weekend is for you. We want to be better bachelors, boyfriends, husbands, fathers, and followers of Christ, and we plan to have a good time doing it.
If you come to Forged you’ll find that we don’t spend a lot of time sitting in meetings. Sure, we get together a few times to learn and grow together. However, the majority of the time is spent doing cool stuff together. Creating on the forge, long-range shooting, mountain biking, zip-lining, golfing, and eating the PNWs best burgers are just a few of the things you’ll have an opportunity to experience over the weekend. Our hope for the weekend is that you’ll leave refreshed and with a deeper, more meaningful connection to the Creator.
A Note on Forged Golf: The golf event will take place Friday afternoon Oct 17 at The Links in Post Falls. Extra fee includes greens fees, cart and range balls. We’ll update you on exact times as we get closer to the event. Thanks to Shine 104.9 for sponsoring this part of the Forged weekend!
Registration is now open.

The Simple Gospel
2025-10-18 11:00 - 12:30

A Call Forward
2025-10-25 11:00 - 12:30
This weekend’s service will center on prayer and worship as we prepare our hearts for the future God is shaping for our church. Together, we’ll seek His guidance, align our hearts with His purpose, and move forward in faith and unity

Why Even Pray
2025-11-01 11:00 - 12:30
If God knows the future, and its fixed, whats the difference? Why is me even talking to God important? What if prayer is more about letting God know where we are at, and maybe… just maybe, He meets us in these places. Perhaps our prayers change more than we think.

Intimacy
2025-11-08 11:00 - 12:30
Sometimes we treat God like a cosmic vending machine: insert a prayer, expect a product. But what if we’re missing the deeper invitation? Like a good parent, God doesn’t just want to be useful — He wants to be wanted. Desired. Known. When we stop treating God like a tool and start relating to Him like a Father, something beautiful happens: the connection itself begins to heal us. It fills a longing we didn’t even know we had.

How to Start Enjoying Prayer
2025-11-15 11:00 - 12:30
Many of us wrestle with prayer. We reduce it to asking God for things—or worse, we wonder if it even matters. In the rush of daily life, we struggle to find the time or the energy, and when we don’t, guilt creeps in. Prayer starts to feel like a chore, something we should do rather than something we want to do. It slips from being a sacred connection to a burdensome obligation. And in a culture addicted to constant stimulation and instant gratification, the quiet, slow work of prayer can feel foreign—almost boring. No wonder we avoid it. But maybe the problem isn’t prayer itself. Maybe it’s the story we’ve been telling ourselves about what prayer is supposed to be.

When it Works… Finally
2025-11-22 11:00 - 12:30
We don’t always know when our prayers will pay off. Sometimes it feels like silence, sometimes like waiting forever. But then—there are moments when those prayers break through, and lives are changed. I couldn’t be more thankful for people who never quit praying for me even when things looked completely hopeless.

Collegiate Young Adult Friendsgiving
2025-11-22 17:30 - 19:30 | Summit Northwest Ministries – Church, 1486 W Seltice Way, Post Falls, ID, 83854, United States

"Hold On!", Wrestlers of God
2025-11-29 11:00 - 12:30
This week, we invite you to join us for a message that explores what we do when our most heartfelt prayers seem to meet only silence. Through the story of Jacob and a personal testimony, we’ll look at how God often works in ways we only recognize in hindsight—and how that can reshape our understanding of prayer. You’ll be encouraged to let go of trying to engineer outcomes and instead notice the quiet, faithful ways God is already supporting you. Come and be reminded of the simple, sacred invitation at the heart of it all: to hold on.

THE BEGINNING: Night of Prayer and Worship
2025-12-05 19:00 - 21:00
Starting December 5, we’re launching The Beginning, a monthly first-Friday gathering focused on prayer, worship, and seeking Jesus together. Come linger in His presence and pray intentionally as a community. We believe this is a season to intentionally seek the face of Jesus, as we discern His will for our church family and in our personal walk with Him.
