WORRY & ANXIETY

Life wasn’t meant to be ruled by worry. When anxiety tightens its grip, even simple moments can feel overwhelming. Your heart races, your mind spins, and peace feels out of reach. But you weren’t designed to carry this weight alone. Whether you’re facing occasional worries or living with constant anxiety, there’s hope. Join us as we discover how to find calm in the chaos and step into the freedom that awaits when we bring our fears to Jesus.

The reality is stark: anxiety rates have tripled since 2020, with 70% of teens and young adults reporting anxiety as a major problem in their lives. We’re seeing unprecedented levels of worry affecting our families, friends, and communities. Join us for Weeds In My Garden, where we’ll break the silence around anxiety and discover practical tools for finding peace. Whether you’re personally struggling or supporting someone who is, you’ll find understanding, hope, and a community ready to walk alongside you. Because at Summit, we believe no one should face anxiety alone.
