Eight cohort meetings a year. Four Spiritual Board of Advisors sessions. One mentor in your corner the whole way. Here is how the two years unfold.
Every Ascend cohort runs on the same dependable cadence, adapted from Kingdom Factor's peer group model, refined over more than 25 years.
3 hours each, with 6 to 12 committed emerging leaders
2 hours each, one per quarter, to go deep in a small group
Including a kickoff retreat and two additional full-day retreats

A Spiritual Board of Advisors session, going deep in a small group.
Mentors and emerging leaders working through life and leadership together.
Every cohort meeting follows the same structure. Evening groups run the identical agenda on a shifted schedule.
Evening groups follow this same 3-hour structure, typically starting in the early evening. Your Group Coach will confirm exact times when you're placed in a cohort.
The first year builds the foundation: who you are, what you believe, and how your faith shapes your work.
The Personal Operating System Workbook, the curriculum every member works through in Year One.
Every Ascend member receives a personalized copy of the program journal to work through during Year One.
The second year turns inward growth into outward practice, with a sharper focus on decisions, conversations, and career principles.
A typical Ascend cohort represents well over a century of combined business experience and walking with Jesus, in one room, every month. Hear it in their own words.
