We are building an Apostolic Nation!
Ascension - Disruption, Innovation, Kingdom
The Ascension Gathering is our annual convergence of leaders, reformers, and pioneers who refuse to settle for business as usual. This gathering exists to awaken heaven’s blueprint in the earth and propel God’s people into higher realms of authority, clarity, and execution. Built on three core pillars—Disruption, Innovation, and Kingdom—Ascension is designed to confront outdated systems, challenge complacency, and dismantle mindsets that limit Kingdom advancement. We believe holy disruption creates space for divine order. Through Innovation, we cultivate fresh strategies, apostolic intelligence, and Spirit-led solutions for the times we are living in—bridging revelation with practical implementation. This is where creativity meets governance and vision meets structure. At its core, Ascension is about the Kingdom—aligning hearts, minds, and movements with heaven’s government, culture, and power. This is not an event for spectators, but a gathering for builders, carriers, and those ready to ascend from calling into commission. Come prepared to be stretched, sharpened, and sent. Ascension is not just a gathering—it’s a launch point.
A25 - Dominion
Dominion speaks to identity before assignment. At Ascension, we confront passivity, break orphan mindsets, and awaken sons and daughters to their rightful place as co-laborers with God. This is a space where believers move from survival to sovereignty, from prayer alone to possession, and from revelation to execution. Through apostolic teaching, prophetic impartation, and strategic activation, Ascension equips leaders to exercise dominion in every sphere—family, church, culture, systems, and territory. We are not gathering for hype, but for government—to establish heaven’s order where chaos has ruled. This is a summons to rise, take responsibility, and occupy until He comes. Ascension is not about elevation for exposure—it is about ascension into dominion.
A24 - Collaboration
Collaboration is not compromise—it is convergence. At Ascension, we are dismantling silos, healing competitive mindsets, and activating covenant partnerships that multiply impact. This gathering creates space for leaders, ministries, creatives, and reformers to come into shared vision, shared authority, and shared assignment. Through apostolic dialogue, prophetic synergy, and strategic connection, Ascension becomes a meeting point where gifts are harmonized, strategies are refined, and movements are accelerated. What one carries in part, another carries in fullness—and together, the body matures into effective Kingdom governance. This is not networking for exposure; it is alignment for execution. Ascension is where collaboration becomes a catalyst and unity becomes power.
A23 - Apostolic Affirmation
The very first Ascension Gathering marked a sacred turning point—the apostolic affirmation of Apostle Derry Haywood. What began as a moment of confirmation became an ignition, signaling the release of a mantle and the birth of a movement. ​ Ascension was not launched as an event, but as a response to heaven. That first gathering established a spiritual marker—clarifying authority, commissioning leadership, and initiating a trajectory of ascent that continues to unfold. What was affirmed then is what now fuels Ascension forward. This was the ignition of Ascension.
