Hey Y'all...... Guess what? February is here, and we are so excited for our upcoming Ascend Y&YA Encounter Service.
Last year, we stepped out in faith and began these once-a-month encounters for our Youth & Young Adults, and what a beautiful journey it has been. The heart behind these Encounters has always been simple but powerful: churches coming together as one body, united in worship, hungry for the presence of God. Each month, we’ve welcomed guest speakers who have poured into all of our Y&YA with wisdom, truth, and love.
These encounters were created to remind our youth and young adults that they are not walking this journey alone—that there are others their age who are pursuing the Lord with the same passion.
Our prayer has been to encourage them, build them up, and give them a glimpse of what true biblical community looks like. Not "our" church, but the Big C Church. Real "Koinonia". Brothers and sisters in Christ linking arms, united in purpose.
Our deepest desire is that they would return to their churches and communities carrying what God has deposited in them—ready to impact their schools, families, and circles of influence for His glory.
This year, we are incredibly thankful and excited to have churches linking arms with us in this vision. A heartfelt thank you to Parkway Church of God and Recovered By Grace Church for stepping in and saying yes. And truly—if any other churches feel led to partner with us, our arms and hearts are wide open.
All that said, we are especially excited because this month’s Ascend Encounter will be hosted at our church- Summit Restoration Church Summit RestorationChurch, and we are honored to welcome Stone. We are believing she is bringing an on-time word from the Lord, and we cannot wait to worship together with you all.
If you’ve never experienced an Ascend Encounter, trust us—you don’t want to miss it. This year, we’ve moved our services to "Saturday nights" to make it easier for Youth & Young Adults to attend and to give them something life-giving and faith-filled to be a part of on a weekend night.
So, if you have Youth or Young Adults ages 12–29 who want to be surrounded by like-minded believers, encouraged, strengthened, and sent out—join us on February 21st at 6:00 PM.
Come expectant. Come hungry.
You won’t regret it.
