About ASCEND Rides
Our Foundation in Faith
Guided by Christ
At ASCEND Rides, our adventures are grounded in the teachings and values of Jesus Christ. We strive to reflect His love and guidance in every aspect of our activities, fostering an environment where participants not only challenge themselves physically but also grow spiritually.
Living Like Christ
Our commitment extends beyond outdoor exploration; it is a journey towards living a life that echoes the question, “What Would Jesus Do?” (WWJD). This pivotal question guides our decisions and interactions, ensuring that we conduct ourselves with integrity, kindness, and compassion—values that Jesus embodied and taught.
