Summit: Christian Life at Wake Forest

Summit has existed since 1955 to welcome first-year students into the Christian life at Wake Forest University through hospitality, friendship, and a shared love for Jesus. By fostering meaningful relationships, engaging in worship, and preparing students for college through practical tools and relational discipleship, Summit creates a strong foundation for students as they begin their college journey at Wake Forest.

Summit Guiding Values:

• Joy: Celebrating the new chapter in students’ lives with fun, meaningful experience

• Hospitality: Creating a welcoming and inclusive space for all first-year students

• Friendship: Encouraging deep and lasting relationships rooted in faith

• Spiritual Growth: Providing opportunities for students to meet adults and mentors who will help them deepen their relationship with Jesus during college

• Community: Connecting students with campus ministries, Christian faculty, and local Christian organizations

Summit allowed me to enter Wake Forest confident that there was a community of Christians that wanted to know me.
