The Ascending Place

The community around The Ascending Place

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 adults live with obesity. More than a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about a third of the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for healing in the homes around this building, and for this church to be known as a place to bring what hurts.
