Our Programs

Training Seminars

Would you like to book a free introductory Faith Ascent seminar? We can work with you to host a custom-made seminar for your group or church on any number of apologetics issues they are facing.

Base Camp

Base Camp is typically five days and four nights of fellowship and intense preparation for college-bound teens. In a safe but challenging setting, we help answer the tough questions teens are being asked.

College Connection

Is your college-bound teenager connected with a campus ministry and a healthy local church? They should be! We've partnered with College Church Connection to get connected.

Small Groups

Do you want to learn how to persuasively articulate and explain the Christian worldview instead of relying solely on canned speeches or tracts? Our small groups may be the thing you're looking for.

What Leaders and Students are Saying

A recent study showed that creating space for students to doubt and ask questions is critical. It’s ministries like Faith Ascent that are taking students seriously and helping them to think through the answers to the big questions.

Associate Professor of Christian Apologetics at Biola University

I drive nine hours from Atlanta, GA to St. Louis because this camp is super good. Before coming here I had a lot of questions that were never discussed in my youth group. Base Camp is a safe place to unpack all these massive questions. I could’t find this anywhere else and that’s why I came back a second time as a leader and a third time as a volunteer. I’m taking these conversations back home with me every summer.

Saint Louis is an interesting town because you have more going on here, in terms of apologetics and Christian case making, than a lot of other towns in America. There are places in the country that don’t offer any of this. One of these resources is Faith Ascent which is a ministry that does this specifically for young people. They are a local resource you really should to be tapping into.

Author of Cold Case Christianity

The reason I care about this ministry is because it’s not a ministry that points to itself. It points to that same person my mom pointed me to when I first heard the gospel as a kid. It points to that person who is greater than anything I’ve found in science. It points to Jesus.

S. Joshua Swamidass MD, Ph.D

Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering at Washington University

Faith Ascent did three sessions with our group. I have never seen our young adults more excited about the things they were learning. They couldn’t stop talking about the lessons. I would HIGHLY recommend Faith Ascent for any seminar, conference, camp, or service!

Matthew Netzer

Student Director at St. Charles First Assemblies of God

I’m a mom of a teen that went to Base Camp for the first time… I love, love, love the way Faith Ascent challenged him to think deeper about matters of faith. That was exactly what he needed and, honestly, I didn’t even realize he needed that until he returned home a changed person. I want you to know I can see your impact has been huge. I’m hoping to sign him up again this year. I don’t want him to miss it.

Janel S.

Mom of a Base Camp Participant

To be told to believe something is one thing. To be shown why it’s believable is another thing. I’ve always thought learning why you believe what you believe is important. Here at camp, some of this was a review. But even that was good because it really reinforced what I already heard. It helps me hearing unrelated Christians referring to the same evidences and historical facts. It gives me even more confidence in what I believe.
