Education Philosophy
We believe that religious education is a life-long pursuit for Christians. We
emphasize the Sunday education hour and Bible studies for kids and adults alike.
Our various education opportunities allow kids and adults to further their study
of our faith and the Bible, as well as enabling us to benefit from fellowship
and discussion with other members.
Sunday School - Sunday School classes are offered for ages 3
through adult each week.
Pastor's Adult Bible Class meets weekly beginning at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday
mornings.

Wednesday Night Live - Wednesday Night Live is a concept that
incorporates fun, fellowship, music rehearsals, dinner, and religious education.
Kids in grades 3 through 12 are encouraged to attend from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. each
Wednesday during the school year. This 2-hour block of time incorporates
religious education, dinner, and a rotating series called music-arts-worship.
Small Groups - Ascension has an active small group ministry,
consisting of home
Bible study and fellowship. Some groups meet during the day and some meet in the
evening,
making it convenient to join an ongoing group. New members are always welcome!
Pre-Confirmation and Confirmation Classes - Confirmation consists
of a 2-year program at Ascension, which can be begun in 7th grade.
Pre-confirmation classes are offered to kids in 3rd through 6th grades.
Pre-confirmation and confirmation classes supplement and complement Sunday
school, providing a solid religious education in preparation for Confirmation.
Pre-confirmation and confirmation classes are held during the school year as
part of Wednesday Night Live.

during the week. These include women's studies, men's studies, family studies,
