Are you searching for genuine, Christ-centered community?
Church should be a place where everyone can grow closer to God and others.
At Ascend, church is more than just something to check off your Sunday to-do list. It’s a genuine community that’s committed to living life side by side as we grow together in our understanding of God and His Word.
Our Mission
Seeing lost people saved, saved people matured, and mature people multiplied to the glory of God.
Expository Preaching at Ascend
At Ascend, we believe the best way to understand the Bible is to let it speak for itself. Each week, our preaching staff studies the original language, historical context, and the place each passage holds in God’s larger story of redemption through Jesus Christ.
On Sundays, you’ll hear verse-by-verse teaching that equips you with tools to study and apply to your daily life. Our goal is not just to preach, but to invite you into a lifelong journey with God’s Word.
You Can Grow Here
At Ascend, we believe following Jesus is a lifelong journey—and we grow best when we do it together. Our discipleship pathway is simple:
Worship Christ Together
Gather every week to honor God through singing, teaching, prayer, and community.
Walk with Christ Together
Join a group, study the Word, and build relationships that encourage you to live out your faith daily.
Work for Christ Together
Serve in a ministry, use your gifts, and make a lasting impact in our church and community.
No matter where you start, there’s a next step waiting for you here at Ascend.
At Ascend Church,
you will be a part of:
Biblical Preaching
Each weekend, hear biblical teaching straight from God’s Word as we seek to understand the original meaning and how it impacts us today.
Christ-Centered Friendships
We’re not meant to live out our faith alone. Get plugged into one of our small groups and deepen your relationship with God and others.
Gospel-Driven Discipleship
Experience discipleship no matter what stage of life you’re in, and join in our mission to reach the world with the Gospel.
Find the community you’ve been looking for.

Why Ascend Church?
Since its founding in 2010, Ascend Church has been a community that desires to see lost people saved, saved people matured, and mature people multiplied to the glory of God in Kansas City and the surrounding area.
As a church family, we’re committed to living life side by side, growing together in our knowledge of God’s Word and our love for one another. Genuine community and connection is central to this mission, which is why nearly 75 percent of our church family is engaged in a discipleship ministry.
Through location moves, name changes, and incredible growth, Christ has remained our foundation and is the center of all that we do.
”The people I have met through this church have impacted my life in such an amazing way! I have felt at home since the first day I walked through the doors. They are welcoming and so full of love for everyone. Pastor Jeff does a great job at keeping your attention and breaking the Bible down verse by verse. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for this church. They helped save my marriage, grow in my walk with Christ, and become a better parent.
