The Episcopal Church of the Ascension

               "Rich in liturgy - Diverse in personality - United in faith"
The Episcopal Church of the Ascension is a vibrant community, diverse in personality, united in faith.  Offering a middle path in a divided world, Ascension encourages individuals to pursue their understanding of God at a depth and pace that is meaningful to them.  Comprised of warm genuine people, Ascension fosters spiritual growth through a broad range of opportunities for everyone, from our children and youth to our senior citizens.

They include:
Worship services that are rich with liturgical tradition and grounded in scripture.
Education programs that encourage intellectual thought and discussion.
Service that contributes to the well-being of our church family, community and world.
Fellowship that is cultivated through small group ministries and social activities.

Through Ascension's rich spiritual environment, individuals pursue their faith, encounter Christ, and collectively experience the power of the Holy Spirit.
