The Need is Real
Nearly 3 out of 4 churches in America are plateaued or declining. (Lifeway Research / NAMB)

Behind every one of these numbers is a leader carrying burdens, making sacrifices, and quietly wondering if they can keep going. The Ascent Network helps them find strength, clarity, and renewed joy in their calling.
Pastors and ministry leaders often carry more than most people ever see. The weight of shepherding others, leading through change, and navigating conflict can leave them exhausted and discouraged. The Ascent Network exists to ensure leaders don’t have to carry that alone. Your generosity provides care, coaching, and support for pastors who are serving on the front lines of gospel ministry. Your generosity provides support for churches that want to make a gospel impact in their community.
A pastor told us recently,
“I was burned out and quietly planning my exit. I felt alone and overwhelmed. The support I received from The Ascent Network helped me regain clarity and hope. I’m still in ministry today—not because the work got easier, but because I didn’t have to walk alone.”
Your gift stands in the gap for pastors just like him.
