Our Extraordinary Christ: Expositions of Hebrews

Small Town Summits 2024

Small-town New England churches and pastors are used to feeling ordinary – and that’s because we are. We stumble, struggle, and sin. We get discouraged. We’re often weak, weary, and uncertain. What we most need is not someone to tell us we’re impressive. We need a truly impressive Someone. We need to be reminded of our extraordinary Christ.

From the very first lines of the book of Hebrews, Jesus is declared superior to every created being. And Jesus’ greatness is meant not just to be marveled at, but to motivate us to persevering love and obedience. In our 2024 Small Town Summits, we explored the riches of the book of Hebrews in order to revel in the incomparable greatness of Jesus as our God, our brother, and our high priest. We saw that the supremacy of Christ is rocket fuel for a joyfully tenacious life and ministry. The small places of New England desperately need pastors, laypeople and churches who don’t flame out, but who doggedly and delightedly go on. The small places need people who care more about the fame of Jesus than their own. The greatness of Jesus will propel us forward and be our all-satisfying prize when our race is complete.

In 2024 we hosted one summit in each New England state. Click below to see past summits.

Get a sense of who we are by seeing where we’ve been. We’re grateful for those who gather with us to consider what God is doing in the small places of New England and how we can together labor for the advance of the Kingdom in this part of the world. Celebrate with us our past Small Town Summits.
