Welcome
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
We are a parish of the Diocese of North Carolina, which is part of the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion. Our Anglican tradition is the third largest family of churches in Christianity, after Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. We seek to embody a way of following Jesus that is rooted in Word and Sacrament, in the footsteps of the Apostles. In the spirit of a generous and inclusive orthodoxy, we welcome all people into our midst, finding our unity in the worship of the Holy Trinity and the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
The Church of the Ascension welcomes all people who seek the love of God, regardless of ability, age, race, economic circumstance, ethnic background, family configuration, gender identity, nationality, or sexual orientation. As a parish family, we aim to “seek and serve Christ in all persons . . . strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being” (Book of Common Prayer, 305)
