Summit Christian Academy Solemn Assembly 2022 Session Options
Diversity Room S110 10:00 | 10:35
Throughout His life and ministry, Jesus constantly shows us how important diversity is to the heart of God. Looking at the life of Christ helps us to understand God’s heart toward diversity, and helps us learn to love one another more genuinely and most importantly live more like Christ.
Being a godly woman is more in the becoming - as we learn about God's character, we receive a fresh revelation of who He is. Our response becomes clear: to live our lives becoming more and more like Him as we reflect His character to a broken world. As women, we are uniquely and beautifully made in His image - are we reflecting His image to the world around us? After this session, my prayer is that you would leave with a renewed desire to live a life of becoming more like Christ.
How to be a godly man (guys only)
How to be a godly woman (girls only) Room S104 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:45
In today’s culture, there are so many competing voices about what a man should look like. In this breakout we’re going to open the word of God and let the Bible define what it looks like to be a man, and how real men ought to live in the world, but not be of the world.
Room S147 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:10 When it comes to women in leadership, it matters less about the specific position you hold and more about how you use that position to glorify the Lord. During this session, we will look at strong, female leaders in the Bible and see how they used their positions of leadership to be so effective for the Kingdom. My prayer is that you leave this session confident that the Lord has called you to lead and equipped with how to use your position as a woman in leadership, to glorify the Lord.

How and why we worship LSCC 239 10:00 | 10:35
All of humanity was born to worship someone or something. If you believe you were created by God, you know that He chose you before the foundations of the world, to be holy and blameless before Him, as Paul encourages us in Ephesians 1. Because of this, you know you were created to respond to His love, His will and His “glorious grace,” yet, we as Christians have only scratched the surface of what it means to worship “in spirit and in truth.” How+Why we worship equals “who” we worship.
God’s heart is for the entire earth to have revival. Each Christian is strategically placed by God to start revival in their own city. When we look at the life of Jesus, He chose teenagers to start the greatest revival the earth has ever seen. This break-out is designed to share an inside-out approach to revival to reach your family, neighborhood and city!
Being on fire for God / Revival Room M210 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:10 (guys)
Session Options - Page 2 Temptations Room S128 - 10:00 | 10:35 11:10 (guys) | 11:45 (girls)
Eve was tempted by knowledge and power, Judas by greed, Samson by lust. Each one of us face temptations on a daily basis. Scripture teaches us that temptation comes from our own desires which leads to sin and ultimately can bring utter destruction to your life. This session will help you unhook the chains of temptation and win the war in your mind!
Everyone experiences evil in different forms, is this compatible with a good and loving God? It’s a question Christians have wrestled with for millennia, and we’ll give you the full answer in this one 30-minute breakout!
Why does God allow evil? Room M122 10:00 | 10:35
Making time for God Room S141 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:10 (guys)
In a world of chaos and pressure on all sides, we often try to find comfort in faulty safety nets of the world. However, to truly grasp the adventure of the Christian walk we need to understand the importance of making time for God. Those things that are important are seldom urgent, while those things that are urgent are seldom important. How will you know which is which?
What does it look like to love? “Love is what God is. Love is demonstrated and defined by the sacrificial, life giving death of Jesus.”
What does it look like to love? Room M213 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:45 (girls)
How do we navigate friendships with nonbelievers?
Navigating healthy friendships can be a challenge for students and adults. Learning how faith intersects with this challenge is important as followers of Jesus. We’ll tackle this challenge through a biblical lens and learn about God’s heart on this topic.
Room M214 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:45 (girls) Let’s look at the New Testament to find true Christian unity and community. Many people in the Bible experienced the evil of racism, and sadly, some were guilty of it. In this session, we will explore the theology of Paul and a biblical method for addressing racial disunity.
Racial ignorance and how to biblically address racism Room M215 - 10:00 | 10:35
Guarding your heart: how to avoid destructive high school relationships (guys only)
When you think of having a high school girlfriend/relationship, perhaps your heart skips a beat? Your palms sweat? Even if you’re in a relationship, what does that look like for you? Most guys don’t know how to guard their hearts which can lead to poor decision-making, heartbreak, and bitterness. You can avoid most of this drama if you just learn a few God-breathed verses from His Word and apply those to future relationships.
LSCC 240 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:10 Guarding your heart” is a popular Christian phrase. What does it mean? Is it really that important? Your heart is the source of who you are, what you do, and how you interact with the world around you. Discover how to guard your heart against “red flag” relationships.

Session Options - Page 3 Representing God in and through sports
Athletics is a huge part of many high school student’s lives. How would Christ want you to compete and honor Him? What should be different about you as you practice, play and work to be the best?
Room S130 - 10:00 | 10:35 11:10 (guys) | 11:45 (girls) Here am I, send me. No, on second thought, I think I will pass. What do leading sheep and leading people have in common? Positional authority or relational authority? Is it possible to lead from the middle or even from behind? Let’s spend some time in 1 Peter 5, and see what Godly leadership looks like, and why the world needs the next generation of Christian leaders.

Consistency with God Room S140 10:00 | 10:35
To be “consistent” in our relationship with God, God has called us to “train [ourselves] for righteousness” (1 Tim. 4:7) and to “earnestly seek” Him (Ps. 63:1). Come to the “Consistency with God” Breakout Session to be encouraged to seek the Lord with all your heart (Ps. 119:2) and to train yourself for godliness because you want to be wholeheartedly devoted to Christ each day of your life.
We regularly experience pressure to define ourselves through external measures including successes, failures, appearance, what other people say about us and more. But what happens when our identity is shaken and circumstances change? Is it possible to have an identity so firmly rooted that is able to withstand the constant changes of the external world? What if you viewed yourself as someone who is deeply loved by God, created on purpose for a purpose? Would viewing yourself this way change the way you live?
Identity (guys only) Room S109 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:10
Room S106 10:00 | 10:35 11:10 (guys) | 11:45 (girls)
Room M211 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:45
Who are you? What defines you? These days, personal identity is so important to us, and we seem to be in control of shaping our identity. But at the same time, we seem so stressed about who we are. We are plagued by questions:”Who am I really?” “Am I good enough, smart enough, attractive enough?” “Am I significant?” This talk will address who we are in Christ and how we can have deep peace and purpose in who Christ has made us.
We all want to grow and mature and become everything we were created to be, but how do we do this? This workshop focuses on practical steps to take for personal growth.
Truth over trend
Identity (girls only)
How do people grow? Room S142 10:00 | 10:35 11:10 (guys) | 11:45 (girls)
Have you ever noticed that everyone around us is asking the same questions that we are, every day? And so, we look to culture, to society, to the trends of this generation to try and find a solution to the questions buried inside of us when the answer is written clearly for us to see. The Bible says that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and in a world surrounding us with lies we need to choose truth; now more than ever.

Spiritual Warfare Room S120 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:10 (guys)
The breakout session will explore the believer’s role in the conflict between the work of the Holy Spirit and the principalities, powers, and rulers of this world. We will focus on the practical application of several topics; identifying the unseen realm of spiritual beings, understanding spiritual authority, dawning the full armor of God, and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to subdue the nations. After attending this session students will wield a fundamental understanding of Spiritual Warfare and our responsibilities as imagers of the one true and living God.
The Scriptures call us to a life of purity with our spirit,soul and body...but why? This workshop will explore the rewards of saying yes to God’s invitation to live to a higher standard of personal consecration.
The Power of Personal Purity (guys only) Room M201 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:10
Sharing my faith Room M203 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:45 (girls)
Jesus wants us to share the Gospel. We’re told we have power in our personal story of coming to Christ. But how do those two things tie together? Why is it important to share our faith? How do we share our faith intentionally?
Nearly all teenagers have never read through the Bible, which means their understanding of who God is often comes from their parents, their friends, or what others (church, media) tell them. So, how do you know the Bible is from God Himself, instead of just what others tell you? If your answer is that you don’t, then the Bible has no relevance for your life. But if you want to be certain that the Bible is a book that God Himself put together so He can specifically show you who He is, and how He wants you to know Him, then this short session is for you.
How do we as Christians respond Biblically to sexual immorality with Truth and Love?
Is the Bible relevant for today? LSCC Cafe 10:00 | 10:35 | 11:10 (guys)
God created each person intentionally in His image, regardless of whether or not they have given their life to Him. How should we as Christians respond when we know that our friends are struggling with homosexual (or even heterosexual) sin? There is a lot of social pressure in our society to accept and even advocate for an individual to have sexual freedom, but that is not what God calls us to. How can we express true love and not condemnation towards those that are struggling with sexual sin and their identity in Christ?
