Ascend Church Rising
Ministry Expansion
Greater Glory!
“‘The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ declares the Lord of hosts.” – Haggai 2:9
Ascend Church is Rising to the Future
As the Lord provides we believe that He has called us to build a modern ministry center that will serve the community for 100 years or more.
This building and ministry expansion will facilitate the vision of creating a healing community of care in the Treasure Valley.
Rising Ministry
- Welcoming and Family Oriented Aesthetics

When is Take Off?
The project is already underway, but we haven’t broken ground. We hope to develop the property as we grow, loosely holding our timeline, if the Lord wills (James 4:15).
We hope to aquire building plans for phase one in 2025 and begin construction in 2026.

they will ascend on wings like eagles;
they will run and not be weary;
they will walk and not faint.”
– Isaiah 40:31
Our Story
Our Church was founded in October of 1995 as part of the decade of harvest. The church's focus on discipleship and mission caused us to grow dramatically in the early years and open the building at Floating Feather and Park Lane on Mother's Day 2006.
After the housing crash of 2008 devastated the west Eagle community, the church went through a time of rebuilding.
In 2012 our current pastors, Brad & Lori Murphy, joined us to revitalize our ministries, missions, and community outreach.
We adopted the vision statement, "Helping People Experience Jesus in a Life-Changing Way" in 2018 which guided us through the COVID era and launced us into the season of growth we are experiencing today.
In September of 2024, we became Ascend Church t0 prepare for expanding into communties outside of Eagle.
