Our Story


ASCENT is a leadership conference sponsored by a team of churches and campus ministries that have come together around one common goal: the training and equipping of college and post-college leaders.

With ministries throughout the midwest, the Rockies, the southwest and Mexico, the team is excited to bring this new opportunity for leadership training to Colorado.

ASCENT will challenge you, through spiritual practice and leadership training, to develop as a faith-filled leader who impacts your community, church, and culture.

Theme


Each of us has a story. Parts are epic, parts are small, but all are meaningful.

Join with college and post-college leaders from across the country as we examine the storyboards of our lives and the impact of our stories. What role does our story play in the lives of those around us? How does looking at our story so far help us determine the rest of it? How does our story connect to the greater story God is telling?
