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.
If people know only one thing about Jesus from the Bible, it's that he walked on water. What far fewer remember is that Jesus' follower Peter also walked on the waves. Peter's water-walk stands as an invitation to step out in faith and experience the power and presence of God.
Join with college and post-college leaders from across the country as we examine the idea of walking on water. How will our lives change if Jesus meets us on the risky waters of faith? Is this kind of faith still available to us today? What does it take to step out onto the water?
Cost: $235 ($249 after May 20 June 10)—covers all program fees, meals and shared lodging.
ASCENT 2015 will be housed at the Ponderosa retreat center in Larkspur, Colorado.
ASCENT 2015 dates: August 10–14
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |

*Join us Wednesday night for an evening of casinos, mysteries and music! Come prepared with your best Bond impression, best dress, and with your best skills. It'll be a night to remember!
