Our Pastor
Rev. Julius Carroll
Rev. Dr. Julius Carroll’s baptismal journey began early in his live at Redeemer Lutheran in Flushing, NY. His education is vast, and he was ordained in 1981 serving congregations in Philadelphia, PA, Washington, DC, Oakland, CA and Raleigh, NC.
Pastor has served as staff and disciple in many ways, at the synod level, the ELCA headquarters in Chicago and on the faculty of Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary.
In his retirement Pastor has been an Intentional Interim ELCA pastor in New Orleans, LA, Greensboro, NC, Liverpool, NY, Clarence Center, NY and most recently, Buffalo, NY before finding his call to be with us at Ascension.
His expertise as an intentional interim pastor is in assisting congregations in strategic planning, in general and reintroducing congregations to their immediate communities, in particular.
Pastor Carroll and his wife, Geneva have six adult children and seventeen grandchildren.
WHO IS PASTOR – AS A LUTHERAN?
‘Raised’ on the former “Red Book” – Service Book and Hymnal (SBH)
‘In love’ with liturgies that range from “high” to “contemplative”
‘Passionate’ about “Professing Christ’s Unconditional Love” in words and deeds
‘Called’ to intentionally INVITE those new to the community to give Ascension a try
Children's Ministry
Our children range in age from pre-school through middle school; however, weekly Sunday school is temporarily on-hold. Children are encouraged to join in worship in our family setting. While our Nursery is not in use at this time, speak to an Usher to let us know you'd like to make use of the Nursery during worship.
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.
