Forged in Fire
In 2008, a fire destroyed our building on 7th Avenue in Beaver Falls. We were left with ashes . . . literally.
But God was not done with our congregation.
After several prayerful years of seeking God’s direction, he began to lead people to us from the recovery community. Recovering addicts of all sorts began to worship with us. We began a special recovery worship service on Sunday nights.
Eventually we began to see God at work. Not only was he raising up our church out of the ashes, but he was using us to help others find new life from the ashes of addiction. And so in September 2011, a new church was resurrected: Ashes to Life Ministries.
growing in grace
The Gospel is not a list of do’s and don’ts, and being with our church is not about measuring up. We care most about direction. Are you on the Path? Are you moving toward God? Yeah, so are we . . . by his grace.
OUR VISION
To be a church where the last, the least and the lost can find hope, healing and forgiveness in Jesus Christ.
We Are a Worshipping Community
Our regular times together as a church are times of worship. Worship is not just coming to hear a teaching or to sing a few songs, but it is the regular act of giving our lives to God. When we place all that we are in Him, we experience more and more the new life that Jesus gives. Below are the regular ways to participate in our community’s worship.

Financial Support
We believe that, as a ministry, we have a unique calling to Beaver Falls and the Beaver Valley to truly offer a place of worship to people who because of their past or present have been hesitant to come into the church.
We are always looking for churches and individuals that want to support our mission
to the last, least, and lost.
You can support our ministry financially through the giving link available to the left. The link will take you to our giving tree web-page where you can make a secure donation online. If your church would like to partner with us, we would love to visit your church to talk to your leadership about ministry partnership.
