Discipleship,
Fellowship, & Activities
There's always something happening at Ascension and new things are on the horizon. There's a sense of community at Ascension with Men's and Women's groups, our SonShine squad spreading His light to others, Special Worship Services, monthly Fellowship events, and Community Outreach – serving to fulfill our purpose of reaching beyond our walls and into our community to Proclaim Christ's Unconditional Love. Ascension is also an AA (Alchoholics Anonymous) meeting site.
Children's Ministry
Our children range in age from pre-school through middle school. However, weekly Sunday school is temporarily on-hold. Nursery care during worship is available weekly, and children are also encouraged to join in worship in our family setting. Please be sure to connect with Pastor Taylor so that we my be a part of your children's faithful noursihment and growth.
Confirmation & Youth
At Ascension we celebrate that the words of God are in the mouths of our young people. For this reason, we seek to encourage our youth in their faith walk towards a life of discipleship and service.
