The Ascent Church

About this church

The Ascent Church in Galesburg gathers for worship every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. in downtown Galesburg, at 169 S Cherry St. Each service brings people together for prayer, singing, scripture, and teaching. The church describes itself as Spirit-led and Bible-centered, and it states a mission of leading people into a growing relationship with Christ. The congregation began in 2011 as the Galesburg campus of Northwoods Community Church and later transitioned into The Ascent Church.

The church frames its life around three words: gather, grow, and go. That means inviting people into welcoming spaces, encouraging one another in faith, and serving neighbors in the surrounding community. The staff includes people focused on children's ministry, youth ministry, benevolence and outreach, and volunteer coordination. Those wanting to join a particular ministry can call 309-342-1550 or email the church through its contact page.

Visitors who cannot attend in person can watch online, and past messages and special services are posted on the church's YouTube and Facebook pages. Giving is available through the Realm online community, by text, or through the Realm Connect app. Service times can change, so confirm them on the church website before visiting.
