Summit Ministries
Email

We are shaped by the stories we engage with. The narratives we consume influence our desires, imaginations, and beliefs. In a culture overwhelmed by spectacle and diluted, false stories, we believe well-crafted, intentional narratives can inspire lives rooted in God’s truth.

At Summit, our goal is to deepen understanding of God through visual mediums. In each project, we focus on telling stories in meaningful, relational ways, using tools like lighting, lenses, movement, and sound to enhance our message.

Video production interns at Summit become part of a creative culture, collaborating with a team committed to excellence and growth in every artistic endeavor. Interns will engage in a blend of education, spiritual development, hands-on practice, feedback, and mentoring throughout the summer. As part of the media team, they will have the opportunity to develop their skills as cinematographers, producers, editors, and directors.
