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.
We all have cravings. Some are for chocolate or pizza or Starbucks, but some cravings go deeper. There are cravings in each us that pull us like an addiction but they go far deeper than any physical addiction ever could. Beyond our flesh... beyond our minds... beyond our hearts... there seems to be a place where our deepest and most powerful cravings lie, and they do not lie silently.
There are universal, intrinsic cravings in all of us that drive us more powerfully than anything else in the world. Join us at ASCENT 2016 as we explore the divine fingerprints that God has placed on our souls.
Cost: $219 ($269 after June 10)—covers all program fees, meals and shared lodging.
ASCENT 2016 will be housed at the Ponderosa retreat center in Monument, Colorado.
ASCENT 2016 dates: August 8–12

*Join us Wednesday night for a unique Revolutionary Ball. Dressed in your best period wear for an American Revolution like no other! Join the Battle of the Georges as a loyalist with King George or a revolutionary with George Washington. Come prepared with your best spycraft, best Lafayette impression, and all your best skills. It'll be a night to remember!
P.S. It would be worth your while to be familiar with the song Guns and Ships from the Hamilton soundtrack.
