A church for real life.
Ascend Church is a community in Tempe where you can explore faith, build authentic relationships, and discover deeper purpose in everyday life.
Whether you’re navigating career, family, relationships, or questions about what truly matters, you don’t have to do it alone.
At Ascend, you can:
- Grow spiritually without pretending to have it all together
- Build meaningful connections with people who genuinely care
- Discover purpose and direction through a relationship with Jesus
- Find community that feels real, supportive, and life-giving
Since 2009, we’ve been helping people in Tempe and the ASU community take practical steps toward faith and meaningful living.
No pressure. No perfect people.
Just real people pursuing Jesus and doing life together.
Meet our Lead Pastor
Reverend David J. Beach serves as Lead Pastor of Ascend Church Tempe. He’s married to Roxie Beach and has twin sons Joshua and Jacob Beach. He serves as the Assistant Men’s Director of the Arizona Ministry Network and is the East Valley Director of the Arizona Trauma Informed Faith Community. A Colson Fellow with The Colson Center for Christian Worldview, Pastor Dave is Ordained by the Assemblies of God and has completed a Master’s of Divinity in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. At home you’ll find him sipping single origin anaerobic coffee from his Moka Pot while studying scripture and playing guitar…all at the same time.
