Practicing Faith, Strengthening Spirituality

From its inception, the essence of The Summit has been the shared belief in the sanctity of the individual, the holiness of life, and the living presence of God within each person. The expression and realization of that belief is demonstrated through the spiritual practices of our students, faculty, and staff.

Developing a personal relationship with God is the focus of all spiritual-formation activities at The Summit. This relationship is exemplified in the values of compassion, concern for others, selflessness, generosity of heart, and acknowledgment of the divine. Because our community embraces diverse beliefs, we are mindful of incorporating other faith traditions into our spiritual experiences and our school, which operates in a spirit of ecumenism, acceptance, and respect.

The Office of Campus Ministry leads programs that promote the spiritual formation and direction of our community. The office provides opportunities for prayer and worship, and involves the Summit community in service outreach to the Cincinnati community beyond our campus. These goals are addressed in different ways, according to school.
