FAQ

Your questions, answered.

If you do not find what you need here, write to us directly and we will respond personally.

What is ASCEND?+
ASCEND is a covenant family of senior pastors and church leaders committed to the presence of God above all else. We exist to equip leaders and churches to steward the awe of God and build presence-driven churches. This is not a denomination or a membership organization. This is covenant relationship. We do not build platforms. We build altars.
Who is ASCEND for?+
Senior pastors and church leaders who have been in their role for at least one year and are hungry for the presence of God above all else. If you refuse to trade purity for platform, value family over fame, and want to walk with leaders who burn with the same fire, ASCEND may be for you. We also welcome church planters on a case-by-case basis and international leaders from any nation.
What is the difference between Covering and Alignment?+
Apostolic Covering is a governmental relationship. You are placing yourself under real authority, receiving direct counsel on major decisions and accountability that carries weight, with a pathway to commissioning and ordination. Apostolic Alignment is a relational partnership. You walk in covenant family with peer accountability and shared resources, without formal authority over your ministry. Both are honored. Both receive the same community. If you are unsure which is right for you, we will discuss it on your discovery call.
Can I switch between Covering and Alignment?+
Yes. The door between tracks remains open. As relationship deepens, you may move from Alignment to Covering through conversation and mutual recognition. You may also move from Covering to Alignment if your season changes. This is honored, not penalized. The goal is right fit, not forced fit.
Is there a financial commitment?+
Yes. Covenant partnership includes financial partnership. There is a one-time alignment seed and an ongoing monthly partnership. This is not a fee for services. It is covenant seed that reflects your agreement to build together. Specific amounts are shared during the discovery call.
Does joining ASCEND mean my church is under ASCEND's authority?+
No. Your church maintains full legal and operational autonomy. ASCEND does not own, govern, or control your local church. The covenant is spiritual and relational in nature. You retain full authority over your ministry. Even leaders in the Covering track are not giving up leadership of their church. They are inviting trusted input into major decisions.
What if I am already part of another network?+
We honor existing relationships. If you are currently under covering elsewhere, we want to understand what is prompting the shift and whether you have had honest conversations with your current leadership. We are not interested in pulling leaders away from existing alignments. But we also know there are seasons when a transition is right and necessary.
What if ASCEND is not the right fit after I join?+
Either party may conclude the covenant relationship at any time with written notice. If you choose to leave ASCEND, we will honor your decision, bless your journey, and release you with prayer. There is no penalty for departure. Only gratitude for the season we walked together.
