What is ASCEND?
ASCEND is our High School Ministry large group worship event that happens every week for students in 9th -12th grade! HSM students meet on Sunday nights for ASCEND, 6-8pm in the Student Center. We hang out and eat pizza until around 6:30pm, playing basketball, volleyball, Spikeball, pool, or just hanging out. Then, we kick off the night with a game or two and an awesome worship experience led by the Student Praise Team. Worship is followed by solid, biblical teaching and small group prayer at the end. Group discussion for HSM Journey Groups is based upon the ASCEND study from that week.
