Summit Street Church

Summit Street Church Real Faith. Real Life. Real people. An authentic, approachable
​community of faith. A people with Jesus as its center. An others-focused,
neighborhood church.

A place for you. Hi, nice to meet you! We're Summit Street Church, a new community church re-plant in Beatrice, Nebraska. We have replanted ourselves and embraced a wide range of changes as we seek to faithfully follow Jesus as we reach out into our community. We replanted because we’re seeking to become a church that moves beyond the church walls, to be the church in our neighborhood. We replante

d because we're seeking to be a church for people who don’t yet go to church, maybe for people who feel like they don’t fit somewhere else, or maybe even for people who plain old don’t like church. Our little church family is diverse in age, in experience, and in denominational background, but we strive to follow in the way of Jesus together in our lives, in our words, and in our deeds. So friends, no matter your background, you are welcome and loved here - just as you are. Summit Street Church is located at 1220 Summit St, here in Beatrice, Nebraska. We meet for worship each Sunday morning at 9:30. Please join us, starting on October 31st!

Friends,

It would be easy to simply move past the tragedy that occurred this week at 9th & Summit Street, but we cannot. As a neighborhood church—located just blocks away at 12th & Summit—Summit Street Church has committed to this place and to the people who live here. We follow the Way of Jesus, a way shaped by belonging, peace, and nonviolence; we believe that every person is made in the Image of God, regardless.

As a response to this tragedy, we invite you to a community gathering intended for one another. Summit Street Church isn’t interested in moving past “the mess” of this too quickly. But we do believe that these events call for a response; this moment will not be met with silence. We hope you will join us in offering your presence, wherever you are in life.

Join us:
Sunday, April 26, 2026
Corner of 9th & Summit
10:00 AM

How will we use the time?

We will pray, sing, reflect, hold space, and make room for one another. There are no easy answers and we aren’t looking to fix or explain things away. We just want to be in this moment, together.

A mic will be available for those who would like to share, and we ask that all who speak do so in a spirit of peace and respect for one another.

Other notes:

This gathering is hosted by Summit Street Church and rooted in the Way of Jesus, but it is open to anyone—neighbors, friends, those grieving, those angry, those searching for hope, or simply a place to stand. You do not need to belong to a church to be involved. Jesus showed us a new way of being at table with one another. ALL ARE WELCOME.

Pastoral presence will be available beginning at 9:30 AM for anyone who would like prayer, conversation, or simply a place to be. If you cannot make the gathering, feel free to email me using the email address below.

The street will be closed between 9th & Summit and 9th & Garfield. We ask that all people respect the neighborhood and all those in attendance.

If you need a chair, please bring one.

We will stand together and we hope you will stand with us.

Andrew S Dungan, EdD | Pastor, Summit Street

How might we understand discipleship and the purpose of the Spirit?

This sermon clip (Acts 19:1-11) is attempt to explain the way in which discipleship depends upon living in-sync with the Spirit. Discipleship is so much more than "going to heaven;" it is the embodiment of Jesus' work in all the everyday, ordinary things of life because of the Spirit's work in people's lives.

Take a listen! I'd love your thoughts!

Luke’s account of Apollos forces us to confront a paradigm of discipleship many of us have absorbed without realizing it: the idea that formation happens primarily through understanding first and participation later. Acts suggests something very different. Formation, according to Luke, does not happen in advance of life, but inside of it, as people step into God’s mission while still unfinished.

I invite you to take a listen to this clip!
