The Summit?
We'd love to answer any questions you might have about our church, our community, and what we believe. Please let us know if we can serve you in any way.
Who We Are
We are a local church pressing on toward the goal to win the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
We believe that the local Church is something special. It is not merely a service provider, but a dynamic community of Christ-followers who are called by God to grow together in worship, fellowship, and purpose, for the advancement of God's Kingdom through Fargo and to the ends of the earth.
Our Leaders
Get to know Our Leaders
Bryan McCrea
Pastor
Bryan and Michelle have been married since July of 1986 and have five grown wonderful children. After graduating from Christ for the Nations in 1987, Bryan has been involved in youth and college ministry, and has served in Africa and India. He has lead mission teams from The Brownsville Revival School of Ministry to India and has taught classes at FIRE School in Charlotte, NC.
Bryan and his family moved to Toccoa, Georgia in 1997 where he was the Senior Pastor at Grace Fellowship for 16 years. Bryan is part of the leadership team of Salt & Light Central in North America. Church Planting has always been his passion. The McCrea's have been part of several church plants, and responded to the call of God to plant a church in Fargo, ND in 2012. The Lord began speaking to Bryan eight years prior to moving about North Dakota. He and his wife and girls moved to Fargo in October 2012 as Church Planting Missionaries and they are loving being in Fargo!
Five families were sent from Grace Fellowship in Toccoa, Georgia to Fargo in the second half of 2012 to plant the church you now know as the Summit. Since then, the Lord has continued to add to us and has given us a church building. We are excited to see what's to come as the Kingdom of God moves forward in Fargo!
Sawma Fanai
Worship Leader & Treasurer
Sawma grew up in India, in the northeast state of Mizoram. As a youth, he loved to play the REAL game of football (aka soccer). As a teenager he joined YWAM and it was there that he met his wife. After they got married they moved to Minnesota. Sawma received a BA in Business Finance from Bethel University in St. Paul and later earned an MBA from Augsburg College.
Sawma is very passionate about music and in the past he has been a choir director and has been active in contemporary music ministry for many years. Apart from music, he has also previously served as a youth pastor.
He and his wife, Sarah, have 4 wonderful children.
Stephen Fendley
Elder & Pastor
Stephen grew up in central Illinois. In 2004 The Lord radically got a hold of his life which led to an endless pursuit of God and love for His Word. Stephen went to Toccoa Falls Bible College located in Georgia in 2006 and quickly got involved with a local church that showed him healthy, Jesus exalting, Spirit filled, Bible believing, New Testament-esque Churches do exist!
While at Toccoa Falls College Stephen was the Spiritual Life Director on Executive SGA. He pioneered ministries in neighboring government housing areas. He served the children and youth at Grace Fellowship. Most importantly of all he met his wife Janna, who was equally as passionate about ministry, while there and was married in 2010. In 2012 they moved with Pastor Bryan McCrea and a handful of other families to start The Summit Church. Stephen and Janna have three kids all born in the Fargo Moorhead area!
