THE PARTNERSHIP

THE PARTNERSHIP

Two organizations. 
One Purpose.

Summit Ministries

Summit Ministries equips students to understand and articulate a biblical worldview so they can engage the ideas shaping culture with confidence and conviction.

American Christian Tours

ACTS brings learning to life through immersive educational travel, creating opportunities for students to encounter history, culture, faith, and competing ideas in the places where they actually exist.

Together, ACTS and Summit create opportunities for students to move from learning about worldview to living it out.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WORLDVIEW LEAVES THE CLASSROOM?

1. LEARN

Build the foundation.

Students engage with biblical worldview concepts and learn to recognize the ideas and assumptions that shape how people understand the world.

2. EXPERIENCE

See worldviews in action.

Travel takes those concepts into real environments - places of worship, cultural institutions, neighborhoods, historical sites, and conversations with people who hold different beliefs.

3. ENGAGE

Learn to think, respond, and live differently.

Through guided discussion, reflection, and hands-on activities, students practice evaluating what they encounter through the lens of biblical truth.

The goal isn't simply to know what a worldview is.

It's to recognize it, evaluate it, and respond to it wherever you encounter it.

WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SEEING

"One of our goals for our students is for them to instinctively weigh every message they consume against God’s Truth.
The focused, intentional exposure and discussion of competing worldviews on our Worldviews in the Wild trip provided guided practice in observing and evaluating worldview expressions. The experience tied what the students learn in the classroom to day-to-day life, and the skills the students solidified on this trip will serve them well long into their adult lives."
