Common questions
Everything you're wondering about.
What should I wear?
Come as you are. You'll see everything from jeans and sneakers to Sunday best. We care about you showing up, not what you show up in.
How long is the service?
The Ascend Experience typically runs about 90 minutes. You're welcome to stay and connect afterward, but there's no pressure.
Is there parking?
Yes! Montbello Rec Center has a parking lot available. Our team can help direct you when you arrive.
Do you have programs for kids?
We have a safe and fun environment for children. Our team will help you check in your kids quickly so the whole family can enjoy the service.
What if I'm not a Christian?
You are absolutely welcome. Ascend is a place for people at every stage of their journey—including those who are just exploring or have questions.
Will I be asked to give money?
We take an offering during service, but it's never expected from guests. Giving is a personal act of worship—no pressure, ever.
