Description
Eagles’ Summit is a full gospel charismatic church that preaches the word of faith and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This ministry was founded on August 26, 1992. The first service consisted of about twenty-six believers in the home of the Pastor. In just a few months, the small congregation swiftly outgrew the family home and relocated to a larger space in the Shoppes at Lakewood in Durham, North Carolina. Though the growth of the congregation required more physical space, the vision to personally impact each member and nurture their God-given gifts, talents, and purpose has never changed and is the basis for the name of the church.
Pastor Lilly symbolically chose the name “Eagles' Summit” for several reasons. Eagles have a number of significant distinct characteristics that depict the passionate desire
that both Pastors James and Sandra Lilly have to provide spiritual guidance and nurturing to those under their leadership. While eagles clearly stand out among others in their species in their ability to fly at altitudes of 10,000 feet or more and their ability to soar for hours at a time, it is their unique style of parenting their young that vividly illustrates the Lillys style of shepherding. Pastor Lilly has the uncommon attribute of selflessly seeking opportunities to provoke others to not only reach their God given potential but to live significant Christian lives. Much like the eagles that carry their young on their backs to the feeding nest for growth, both Pastors James and Sandra Lillys' desire is to literally carry each member through their process of spiritual growth towards Christian maturity. This unique style of leadership at such a personal level may seem strange to some, but is quite natural to the Lillys' and is a call that they cannot lay down. Their desire is to not just preach the Word, but to facilitate positive change that brings about a greater quality of life.
