Ascent

The Climb Starts Tonight//Thursdays 6:30PM

Ascent is a community-wide high school ministry with support from three local churches to teach, train, and equip our students with the truth of the Gospel.

Join us every Thursday 6:30PM at TRIBE 1200 S. Hwy 89 for dinner, teaching, and small group discipleship.

Why Ascent?

In 2018, Buckrail interviewed dozens of JHHS graduates and published a piece that articulates what so many had struggled to for years: Check Yes or No Consent (buckrail.com). Jackson youth pastor Mike Demetreis and other youth leaders in the valley launched Ascent in 2022 as a way to start pushing back on what have become the cultural norms amongst our teenagers using biblical principles and practical application. Here is a condensed version of his talk with parents in the fall of 2023: What to Expect in High School.
