What started at VCHS with eleven dads almost ten years ago has slowly turned into about 130 men and women in the Valley meeting in groups on a regular basis. Ascend Vail’s tagline is, Building Community. Pursuing Faith. We do this by putting men in men’s groups and women in women’s groups of 12-15 people who meet weekly for 12 weeks in the spring and 12 weeks in the fall for 1 hour at a time. We talk about life and pursue a deeper faith together, and it has been life changing for many! But don’t take my word for it, hear what those involved have to say.
VCHS is making plans to partner with Ascend to launch one or more groups this August. If you’d be interested in joining a group or just getting more information, please email Scott Leonard at ascendvail@gmail.com.
VCHS Testimonials
Ascend uses the simplicity of men’s/women’s groups to bring people together as we walk through life’s many seasons. For me the unexpected benefit was becoming such close friends with some older and younger guys in my group as we sought to go deeper in our faith together; we are all in very different places on that spectrum due to our upbringings.
Charlie Meynier (Dad, Class of ’24)
Our Ascend group has been a joy to be involved in as I’ve been able to meet more guys in the community. To be able to share life’s highs and lows together is a real gift for all of us.
Ben Dodds (Dad, Classes of ’24 and ’25)
Since joining an Ascend group I have made many new friends and reconnected with old ones too. Hearing everyone’s stories and what’s going on in everyone’s lives is an eye opening experience.
Parker Smith (Dad, Class of ’26)
Life isn’t always easy and if it was it would be boring. For those times when marriage, family, or work aren’t easy, a group like Ascend, gives us support, guidance, and a consideration of how faith can help us move forward. I’m a better person because of my Ascend group.
Chris Pryor (Dad, Classes of ’24 and ’28)
