Our Team

They value each other and the volunteers they serve with, working hard to provide an atmosphere that makes Summit welcoming to people in our surrounding communities.

Pastors Scott & Connie LeLaCheur


Pastors Scott and Connie LeLaCheur have ministered together for over 38 years living out God’s word and truths about being a follower of Christ, teaching and encouraging everyone to thrive, living out God’s purpose for their lives. They began their ministry in Spokane, Washington, both pursued Pastoral Studies at Eugene Bible College (New Hope College) and Pastor Scott went on to receive his master’s degree in theology from Jacksonville Theological Seminary.

Pastor Scott is a third generation Pastor. Pastor Connie gave her life to the Lord when she was teenager. Healing, rescue and grace from the Lord in her life birthed a desire to see people free to live out their God given destiny. Pastors Scott and Connie have been married 38 years and have three children. They minister together with the next generations of their family sharing the love of Jesus. Madison and her husband Tom Stanley along with their children, Scotlyn Rae, Cash McCoy, and Stetson Rhett live in Michigan and serve in worship ministry. The LeLaCheur’s youngest daughter, Macie and her husband Nick Moyer just recently moved to San Diego. Macie used to be Summit’s Missions and Outreach Pastor as she also worked with Missions social work and Christa’s Home Orphanage in India. Nick and Macie have one son, Wesley. The LeLaCheur’s son, Austin, is getting a degree in music.
