The Summit Church
DURHAM, NC
One Church / Many Locations
The Summit Church truly is one church in many locations, and those locations vary greatly in size and even permanence. Summit had traditionally self-installed its AV systems. However, with the need for more advanced AV capabilities and a desire to maximize community investment, it worked to select an integration partner.
We have partnered now for the last six years. Together, we have collaborated on a series of projects to achieve some very clear goals:
Create consistency and cohesion across various campuses
Create consistent workflows for staff and volunteers
Simplify systems for ease of deployment (especially for portable campuses)
Maximize community impact through installed systems at school facilities.
Meeting these expectations was a daunting task, with campuses being regularly launched in addition to refreshing and bringing up to standard existing campuses. We established plans/goals around refreshing permanent campuses, which were in an array of conditions with very mismatched AV systems. To date, we have refreshed three of their permanent campuses.
Working alongside Summit and public school districts, we’ve been able to maximize the community impact of the church in local schools, while minimizing set up times for portable campuses. We’ve developed solutions that enrich both the lives of students and the church congregation. This hybrid approach to school campuses has led to great success for their teams and the faculty/students of the schools.
Avenue is proud to have been a part of such a compelling story. Summit has had such an impact as a church and within their community. We continue to be a part of that story as Summit continues to grow and expand its impact.

“Being able to work with a provider that knows us so well has altered the way we approach AV projects. The trust we have in them has allowed a relationship that feels more like a journey than a typical contract-based relationship.
