Our Mission
Climbing together by loving God and loving people.
Our Vision
To establish authentic biblical community in every neighborhood in the North Colorado Springs region.
We are a group of people, just like you, who
want to build relationships, grow closer to God, and impact the world around us with the hope of the gospel. Our community has been climbing together for over 20 years, and though we’ve been around for a long time, in some ways, we’re just getting started. God is on the move here! Ascent Church is led by Lead Pastor, Dr. Rusty Hayes, Executive Pastor, Brian Petak and an excellent staff team that is committed to equipping the body of Christ, making disciples, and reaching the lost. We look forward to this journey with you!
Our Values
- Christ-centered – our priority is to glorify the Father in all we do and submit to the Holy Spirit’s leading under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
- Bible-inspired – we teach biblical truth from the Word of God in all of our learning environments.
- People-focused – we love people genuinely and reach out to serve our neighbors.
- Growth-driven – we pursue our faith in Christ daily and yield to the Spirit’s guidance in our personal lives.
- Generous-living – we are obedient to God’s calling of sacrificial generosity.
BELONGING. BECOMING.
Too often many of us settle for a life that that brings us down when there is a better way. Jesus invites us into the fullness of life in Him - on a higher level. Ascent is a place where you can feel a sense of belonging, enjoying deepening relationships that call us to experience more of what God wants for us. And at the same time, growing together and reaching the potential God desires for each of us by becoming a worshiping community of influence.
You are invited to connect with us, and most importantly with Jesus – the One who gives life and hope.
