Empowering the Next Generation to Follow Christ
About Our Youth Ministry
The Youth Ministry at Ascension Baptist Church exists to help the Youth develop a lasting faith in Jesus Christ. Through dynamic worship, relevant teaching, and authentic relationships, we create a space where teens can belong, believe, and become who God created them to be.
Our ministry is built on three pillars: Faith, Community, and Mission. We're committed to equipping young people to live out their faith in every area of life.
