ACU Welcomes 111th Summit Event

September 14, 2017 by Madison Fichtner

Summit, the annual event that features speakers from around the country addressing theology and Christian ministry, will begin Sunday and continue through Wednesday.

Landon Saunders will kick off the event on Sunday at 7 p.m. at University Church of Christ. Other theme speakers include Sean Palmer, James K.A. Smith, Josh Ross, Thema Bryant-Davis, Chris Seidman and Jeanene Reese.

This year’s Summit theme is “The Choices We Make and the God We Serve” and will feature over 90 participants. Theme speakers will focus on the book of Deuteronomy during their presentations in either Moody Coliseum or Cullen Auditorium.

On Sunday, the Women for Abilene Christian University will do their one day only pie sale from 3-10 p.m. at the ACU Museum. All proceeds will benefit the WACU Endowed Scholarship fund. There will also be a mini-concert at University Church of Christ at 6:30-7 p.m.

Many students look forward to Summit because of environment and the enhanced community it brings to campus.

“Summit is such a unique experience of professional individuals who have mastered the skill of balancing both professional and personal life while maintaining their religious views,” said Lee Mills, junior accounting and finance major from Colleyville.

To stay in touch with everything going on during Summit, you can download the ACU Summit app from the App Store or Google Play.
