Upward Way logo with a mountain peak and text.
An expansive, detailed map of North America printed on textured parchment-style paper, spread flat across a smooth oak table. Fine threaded cords in muted blues and greens stretch between small wooden markers placed on various cities, visually tracing a subtle network of connections. A well-used study Bible, a neatly organized notebook, and a simple metal reading lamp sit near the map’s edge. Warm overhead lighting and the soft glow from the lamp create a cozy yet professional ambiance, casting gentle shadows along the cords that suggest depth and relationship. Captured from a slightly elevated angle in photographic realism, the composition uses the rule of thirds to emphasize the central web of connections, reflecting a thoughtful, faith-rooted network across North America.

A Network of Anabaptist Related Assemblies

We are a relational network of Anabaptist-rooted assemblies and leaders committed to humble discipleship, healthy and vibrant relationships, and “grace in shoe leather living” across North America.

Our Story

Events

A minimalist bookshelf display featuring carefully arranged theological and leadership books with simple, dignified covers in deep navy, forest green, and cream tones. Beside the books, a small wooden cross and a handcrafted ceramic mug sit on the shelf, while a stack of printed resource guides labeled “Fellowship,” “Discipleship,” and “Leadership Support” leans upright. The setting is a quiet study corner with a light gray wall and a single window just out of frame. Diffused daylight softly illuminates the spines of the books, creating gentle gradients and subtle shadows. Photographic realism with a shallow depth of field keeps the focus on the central resources, while the background softly blurs, communicating a calm, organized, and trustworthy hub of spiritual and practical tools for Anabaptist assemblies.

A close-up of a well-worn, open Bible resting on a simple wooden lectern, its thin pages slightly curled at the edges and underlined in a few places. Next to it lies a slim, neatly printed outline titled “Elders’ Fellowship Session,” with bullet points visible but not fully readable. The background reveals a softly focused sanctuary with rows of empty wooden benches and a plain, unadorned front wall, echoing historic Anabaptist simplicity. Gentle, diffused light from side windows bathes the scene, creating delicate highlights on the page edges and subtle shadows along the lectern’s grain. Photographic realism with a shallow depth of field centers the Word and the outline, evoking a reverent, earnest atmosphere of shared leadership and humble guidance.
