Ascent Network at University Presbyterian Church

How good and pleasant and it is when brothers and sisters gather together in community. (Psalm 133:1) The Ascent Network is an informal affiliation of campus ministers committed to seeing the work of the kingdom expressed to the campus primarily through the local church. We exist primarily for four reasons: To encourage individuals and communities in their journey with Christ as it relates to issues around the campus, the church, and their personal lives. To provide avenues for the exchange of ideas and resources, human and other.To gather people together, in community, to discover what God is up to and to assist one another in getting there. To develop leadership in the church, on the campus, in the marketplace, all around the world in all aspects of Kingdom work.
