Our membership and spiritual growth program is called The Ascent. The purpose of The Ascent is to see every believer reach the summit in the call of God at Church on the Rock. To help you get there, we have developed four base camps to equip you for the journey that lies ahead. The Ascent provides membership and first-serve opportunities. You will discover your spiritual gifts, strengths, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit for daily living. As you gear up for the climb, you will be envisioned with the values and missional directions of what a Christ-follower needs to live every day with passion and purpose.

BASE CAMP 101 — “License to Climb”
Lead Guides: Pastor David Pepper
Ascend with us! Your first step after repentance, faith in Christ, and water baptism is to be committed to a local fellowship. While the importance of these topics will be traversed, we will also cover the doctrine, values, and vision of Church on the Rock. This is your opportunity to discover the joy of membership and covenant with the people and purposes of this church. After you complete the requirements for membership, there are many first-serve opportunities awaiting you.
BASE CAMP 102 — “Gearing Up”
Lead Guides: Pastor David Pepper, Pastor Scott Frerking & Pastor William Pepper
Having the right gear and basic training is crucial for your development in ministry. In this Base Camp, you will be outfitted with Vision, Servant Leadership, The Will of God, Discipleship, Understanding your Strengths, and Motivational and Spiritual Gifts. When you complete this time of training and equipping, many trails of ministry and leadership open up for you to ascend.
BASE CAMP 103 — Encounter Weekend
Lead Guides: Pastor Kelly & Lenora Brake and Pastor Rick & Trudy Bonnette
In order to ascend higher into God’s purposes, you will need to be free from all past hurts, wounds, sin, and shame. Learning to live a lifestyle of forgiveness where you will truly be able to give your life away to others is God’s heartbeat for every Christian. God is also calling us to an audience with Himself–to know Him and to empower us with His Holy Spirit for effective ministry. Prerequisite: completion of Base Camp 101 and preferably Base Camp 102.
BASE CAMP 104 — “Extreme Training”
Lead Guides: Pastor William Pepper
Even the most experienced climber needs continued training and equipping for the extreme trails that lie ahead. In this Base Camp, you will go through 14 sessions to keep your focus, passion, and purpose in Christ. The continued maturity and skill for every climber is of utmost importance. If you are looking to traverse the most difficult paths and slopes, then you need extreme training.
