Spiritual growth is a journey for all ages which includes everything from education to prayer to financial giving.
Adult Education
As we seek a deeper relationship with God, we can be consumed by a hunger to explore the questions of our faith. On Sunday mornings and during the week, Ascension offers different opportunities for Bible Study, book studies, and gatherings for conversation and exploration of topics. Ascension also offers a yearly Adult Affirmation of Faith experience where you can join a small group of individuals to study the Bible, read and discuss different books around topics of faith, and provide for honest and authentic reflection in guided discussion times. Please contact the church office for the next opportunities to learn.
Youth Education
Ascension has vibrant and active youth programs for preschoolers through high schoolers. Please see the following pages: BLAST (3yrs-5th gr.); JOLT confirmation (6-8 gr.); and CRASH (9-12th gr.)
Prayer
In addition to studying God’s word, we develop a closer relationship to Jesus through prayer. This includes prayer in church and at home, prayer groups, prayer chains, prayer vigils, and making prayer a part of everything we do. Consider taking another step in faith and join the Prayer Team on the first and third Mondays of the month as we offer up prayers of praise and thanksgiving and for the needs of our church family and friends, community, nation, and the world. You will not be asked to pray aloud if you do not wish to do so.
Stewardship
Another part of growing spiritually is realizing that everything we have comes from God. This allows us to be more generous with our possessions and frees us to use them for God’s work. Opportunities to serve in this area are many. We have on Sunday mornings, BLAST helpers and aides, confirmation leaders and adult assistants, chaperons for trips, leaders and coordinators for adult education, prayer team members, stewardship team members, and many more. You can also make financial contributions to Ascension and specific ministries. Ascension has an Endowment Fund, which you can donate to or request funds from.
Memorial Gardens
Ascension’s Memorial Gardens offers a quiet, reflective space in which to remember a loved one or pray.
Please see the Memorial Gardens page for more information about this special space.
We’d love to hear from you and answer any additional questions you have.
