Worship, service, Pastor Rick! The entire atmosphere is just a breath of fresh air! I'm so grateful to call Summit my church. Very welcoming and stands on humble faith. Never giving that mega church vibe. This church gives off that warm home to come to when you need to escape the noise. read more

Pastor Rick, his services also are down to earth relate to every day family matters issues and then pertains it with written in the Bible very genuine read more

Such a welcoming and very beautiful church! Pastor is amazing! The have a carousel, a cafe, child care during services for all ages and even Youth sermons. The events and special activities that they have going on all year are very inviting for all. Lots of opportunities to get involved in the church if you choose, even for young adults. They have nice picture opportunities as well for each holiday/season. All around great experience! read more

Normally I wouldn't delve into religion or the such on an outlet such as Yelp but I feel its very much the exception to negative stereotypes associated with larger churches. Pastor Rick Godwin is void of fire and brimstone and fills his congregation with hope, faith and uses the Bible to uplift and motivate his people to live a bold, large life. Sunday service is always something new and different and I found this place through my g/f when I had lost all hope for a "good" church. They DON'T make you go upfront b/c you're new, they DON'T ask you to devote your life to God during your first visit and they DON'T pass around the offering plate excessively. They DO however offer free daycare during services so parents can focus on the message without being distracted by the little ones. They also DO offer plenty of other services to the community such as marriage and family counseling at no cost. And they also put their money where their mouth is and they DO give to worthy causes outside of their own expansion and remodeling. The most recent example was when Pastor Rick invited the Watoto Church from Uganda to come and share their culture of song and dance with us and in return we donated more than $150,000 to their cause of healing their people one baby, child and young adult at a time. If you're like me and you'd given up on finding a church that accepts you for who you are, doesn't talk politics or condemn gays and genuinely tries to use God and the Bible to make you the best Christian you can possibly be, then give them a chance and you may be just as pleasantly surprised as I was. read more

Everyone is friendly, had not been to Summit Christian center for a while due to my business and traveling, but it was great to be back very welcoming feeling read more

Today was a beautiful day. The worship was very sweet and sincere. We were met with the friendly smile by Usher Dave when we first came through the door. Pastor Rick taught a very powerful message about NO FEAR! Good solid work with many biblical implications. The church is very beautiful with plenty of room, my son loves the youth group! My other son loved the cafe!! Thank you Apostle Rick and staff! Also from being retired as a Sheriff in Santa Clara County, It was very comforting to see the security as well as uniform PD or Sheriff's On site. We will be back again, coming from California it's a blessing to see those that openly tell the truth from the Scriptures and share our faith in Jesus Christ, unashamed read more

I'm a Southern California native and San Antonio newbie who fell in love with Summit Church by watching live stream in Ca. What keeps Summit unique? For starters Summit is the ONLY CHURCH IN AMERICA that has an Indoor Double Decker Carousel, a Cafe where the pastries are made fresh and coffee that has been said to "Ruin all other coffees" because it's the best coffee! read more

I find it interesting that the people that gave Summit bad reviews were just because of their emphasis on giving of your tithes and offerings. It would be fascinating to see if those people give any tithe at all or is their money their's and they do what they want because it's not God's money. Anyways, I'm doing this review based as a person that has visited this church many times with a friend but this is not the church I regularly attend. I have been visiting this church for many years, since I was about 10 years old and now I'm 21. I used to absolutely love the children's ministries. They would do many fun group activities (splash town, corn maze, game nights) volunteer events (food banks, clean up different locations, giving food out) and camps. They have something for just about any age, including young adults ages 18-35. Which is awesome because not very many churches have things for college age population. The adult morning service is really good. The sound system and the band sounds AMAZING. I am a drummer so I have a hard time getting into music when I know something sounds off or someone is not playing the right music. They sound so good. The best part is that you can tell the people up there are really worshiping. There are a good amount of people that get out of the rows to join up at the front to worship. Hands raised and dancing are accepted and encouraged. Pastor Rick is great. He tells it like it is and is very entertaining. I have not heard a sermon from him that I have not enjoyed or questioned the theology of it. They also hold big events like concerts and men's and ladies' retreats. I had the pleasure of attending a Bethel concert last January... It was the best worship ever. Gets me all excited for Heaven. They have had many other big names in the Christian music world come and hold concerts here. If you live in the area or even if you don't, I encourage you to go and check it out. People are friendly, worship has meaning, and the message is applicable. read more

Love this place! Pastor Rick is real, raw and bold! Not shy about telling the gospel like it is and conveying God's heart after us. My favorite place in San Antonio read more

I have been going here since I moved to San Antonio about a year and a half ago. I did try several places before I came here but this seem to be the best fit for me. The place is real nice the people are great I have recently started attending Bible study and getting into some of the prayer groups so far everything has been Great. Sometimes the music at the beginning of service is too loud but other than that I can't say I've had much to complain about. I would definitely recommend trying this church out if you are looking for a place in San Antonio especially if you live up north. read more

I moved away from San Antonio at the beginning of 2008 to Alaska and this was my home church my last 6 years there when it was still Eagle's Nest Christian Fellowship off of Hwy 281. Pastor Rick is very bold in his sermons, yet encouraging, witty, relevant, and devoid of fire and brimstone. For those of us living in the real world and have in the past been part of legalistic and/or close-minded churches like myself, this is refreshing change. There were many wonderful people and friends we made there and Hillsong music they frequently played. For 4 stars instead of 5? The 2007 scandal with the mishandling of funds for personal use and the mass email his estranged daughter from his first marriage sent to staff members and church volunteers I found rather troubling. And a man I was friends with there had his reputation tarnished from behind the pulpit because he questioned and opposed the pastor about the mishandling of funds. This was a man that contributed a lot to the church with a ministry reaching out to boys without a father or father figure in their life. read more

I go to to Nico LaHood and George Araujo's excellent presentations like the one tomorrow on "Woke Christianity" which is a subject most churches won't allow to be covered while I attend a different denomination here in SA as a liturgical Christian. Fact is those who don't care for this church should remember we still have freedom of religion even under the Biden Administration and just go somewhere else rather than spew their negative venom! Man, if I were Pastor Godwin and his wife dealing with negative people like these who write these hateful reviews, I wouldn't be so outgoing and spiritual toward them either! The staff have always been polite and I have had to ask this church about making a personal donation as they don't pass around a collection plate or even have a donation box like mine does at the back to put a donation in for these great meetings they put on! This will be my second time attending here and I would recommend this great church to all those who live in the area and feel called to their style of evangelical Christianity! Blessings and let's practice loving kindness toward our fellow Christians, please! read more

Best church to hear the word of god. Pastor Rick gives you the bibles word straight. This place offers so much for a family to very right at home. Everyone is very friendly and always making sure to help any new folks. read more

It felt like a seeker church. Fluffy message with little depth or convictions within it. Very welcoming people. Beautiful church. My kids said the Elementary service didn't really go into much of a lesson. My high schooler said the kids were bragging about how the church didn't "push religion"... I personally feel that's what they're in church for. Disappointing read more

Summit is such a great church that welcomes everyone. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you are at home. The praise and worship is amazing, and there is a carousel for everyone to ride! read more

Summit Christian Center - Listening to Rick Godwin, pastor of Summit Christian Center. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Top notch facility. I'm just not a fan of religion for extreme profits. Just seems wrong taking such a large amount of money from families just to be a "member". Of course everyone knows it's just a scam, they're just too scared to admit it. read more

Absolutely love this church! My parents never took my to church when I was growing up so I decided to start attending a church on my own one day. The minute I walked into Summit I fell in love and knew I was at home. Their staff is so friendly and very welcoming. Pastor Rick is hilarious and he always has a great message. They have three services; Saturday at 5pm, Sunday at 9am and 11am. They have tons of events going on all the time. They also have a men's breakfast the first Saturday morning of every month. I really encourage you to try this church just one time! read more

Summit Christian Center is an amazing church. The worship team is wonderful and they always get you up and moving. The message is always great and the people are very friendly. We usually go to the Saturday service at 5pm which they call "Saturday Night Live" it's great because we have our whole Sunday for whatever. They have wonderful groups for anything and everything. They have a wonderful women's ministry that meets every week and a great men's ministry too. Once a year they have a women's retreat called "Chosen" which is a weekend long service of just women. The men's retreat is call "Ascend" and I'm not sure what happens? I bet it's just as amazing. They always have great guest speakers at these retreats. Summit is just like a family. They have a wonderful children's program and are lucky enough to have the old carousel from Central Park Mall. It's a great place with lots of love to give. Come check it out! read more
