Ascension is a Christ-centered community where people gather to worship God, grow in faith, and serve our neighbors. We have not always gotten it right, but we do our best to follow the way of Jesus.
Our common life is shaped by the Episcopal tradition. We read and study Scripture. We recite ancient Christian prayers. We celebrate the Sacraments. And… we are still “free to question.”
We believe all people are made in God’s image and welcome everyone to be part of our community. We actively help those in need through hospitality, outreach, and service.
Whether you are a lifelong Episcopalian or new to Christian faith, searching for a spiritual home or simply curious, bring your questions and your hopes. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, there’s a place for you at Ascension.

Have questions about your visit? Here are some common questions and answers to help you out.
Where do I go?
Come to the big red doors! For an accessible entrance, use the lower level doors facing 3rd Street near the left (as you face the building). There is an elevator inside that will take you up to the main level.
Street parking is available on 3rd or 4th street, or there is a parking ramp off of 3rd street.
What do I do?
You will be greeted by an usher and you should receive a booklet called a "bulletin." Everything you need to follow the service will be in the bulletin. Sit where you are comfortable. Restrooms are available on the main level across from the Parish Hall.
Our first service begins at 8:00 a.m., and is a spoken word service (no music). Our 10:00 a.m. service has music, with pre-service music starting around 9:50 a.m. If you are running late, please come on in when you arrive. We are happy to see you whenever you get here.
What should I wear?
Whatever you are comfortable in. Some folks enjoy sporting their "Sunday Best", some wear jeans and a tee shirt. The priest will be in vestments.
When do sit or stand?
The bulletin will be your guide. You are encouraged to participate as you are able.
Children and Youth
Children of all ages are welcome in the sanctuary throughout the service. For our younger guests, there is a Pray-ground area in the front where they can engage with various toys and resources during the service. This helps them stay engaged during the service. Parents/caregivers are encouraged to sit their children while they are participating in the Pray-ground.
If you prefer a worship service that is more quiet, orderly and with more solemnity, you may prefer to attend the 8:00 a.m. service.
Coffee Hour
At Ascension, we take our fellowship time seriously. We have Coffee Hour after both services in the Parish Hall, with plenty of snacks and, of course, coffee. Come meet some new friends.
Accessibility
There is disability parking directly in front of the church on 3rd Street. For an accessible entrance, please use the lower level doors facing 3rd Street that are near the left (as you face the building). There is an elevator inside that will take you up to the main level. Audio enhancements are available, just ask one of the sound techs near the back of the church for assistance. If you would like to have Communion brought to you, just let an usher know and we would be happy to come to you!
