Here is what participants are saying about The Aerie Center at Ascend Church

REBOOT Recovery Course

“My wife was delivered from symptoms of PTSD through REBOOT.”

The Art of Marriage Course

“This course has forced us to communicate and open up, even if it felt cheesy in the beginning it was more comfortable and easy towards the end of the course. It helped set the stage for brining topics up in the future.”

REBOOT Recovery Course

“I didn’t known healing was possible.”

The Art of Marriage Course

“I realized I’m not alone, we are in this as a team, and as members of a community. Finally, the key is recognizing Christ has done everything for me, my wife and our marriage. He loves us and will never let us go.”

Purpose

The Aerie

Rooted in the biblical imagery of an “aerie” — a nest built high above the storm — Aerie Center exists to provide immediate Christ-centered care, practical life equipping, and long-term spiritual formation.

Mission

To provide a Christ-centered environment where individuals and families in the Treasure Valley can experience healing, restoration, practical life growth, and spiritual transformation.

Vision

To become a regional hub for faith-based life restoration—lifting individuals, families, and the broader community to a higher place of health, strength, and purpose.

Background

A Foundation of Care

The Aerie Center is rooted in a simple reality: many individuals and families appear stable on the outside, yet their lives may be built on fragile foundations that shift under stress, trauma, illness, financial strain, abuse, or abandonment. When crisis hits, cracks emerge quickly—and the outcomes can be devastating.

Aerie Center exists to help rebuild foundations through whole-person care in Christ. We believe the Church is uniquely positioned to be a community of care—offering grace, security, and hope—so people do not walk through pain alone.

AFFILIATION

The Aerie Center is a faith-based nonprofit initiative of Ascend Church in Eagle, Idaho, created to meet the growing emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of individuals and families across the Treasure Valley.

The Aerie Center is a developing nonprofit LLC under the 501(c)(3) umbrella of Ascend Church. While legally affiliated, it operates as a distinct ministry expression focused on community-facing crisis response, life support, and personal transformation.
