Let it Be Christmas
Posted on 19. Dec, 2011 by frank.
The recent series we’ve just finished here at Hope Summit has been great! I’m so thankful for our dedicated volunteers that have sacrificed extra time in preparation and serving. Each week the team prepared a different Beatles song and I tied the lyric into our life and the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Often our culture is willing [...]

This summer is my first full summer at Hope Summit and it has been great! Our staff really pulled together as a team and our new Director of Summit Kids (Mandy Slater) kicked off our first Kids’ Camp! The theme this year was Splashdown which was a really fun water theme for the games while [...]

We had an awesome time at our summer picnic. I got to meet tons of new families that recently started attending our church, the kids got to hit some balls in our inflatable batting cage, and Slider (team mascot) from the Honkers even showed up! For those that don’t know, the Honkers are a local baseball [...]

Free Sermon Series and Graphics
Posted on 10. Jan, 2011 by frank.
One of my favorite sermon series I’ve ever put together was Googling God. Each week is based on questions collected from the congregation. Now obviously a question series is not an original idea, but what I came up with was tying the thought to the internet search engine, Google. I first came up with the [...]

Christmas Eve Radio Invite
Posted on 01. Dec, 2010 by frank.
I just got back from working with the Cumulus team in downtown Rochester and they were awesome to hang out with. We’ve decided to put a Christmas Eve invitation on the radio and ask our community to spend the evening with us at Hope Summit. We’re looking at running the clip 10-14 days before Christmas [...]

More Than a Trip
Posted on 01. Nov, 2010 by frank.
Our Youth Pastor (Todd Looney) recently took our teens on a retreat to Camp Victory in Zumbro Falls, Mn. Watching the video (below) reminded me how the moments that they shared are so much more than a simple trip. I remember, growing up in church, how moments like these got me out of my comfort [...]

I Love It When People Get It
Posted on 04. Jun, 2010 by frank.
As I connect with leaders and volunteers at Hope Summit, I love it when people catch the vision for evangelism. It isn’t easy to change direction and do something differently when you’ve been doing it the same way for years. I had the privilege of meeting with our Arts Team and began to cast vision for our [...]
