We welcome you to Ascension Lutheran Church. We are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). We are a community of faith who rely on the power and the teachings of Jesus as we navigate this world and life together. We don’t have all the answers, and we aren’t perfect-and we believe in the one who is! If you are in a close relationship with Jesus, or just beginning to get to know him–Ascension is a place for you to share your journey. Come worship with us. Join us in an event. Come and see.

ABOUT ASCENSION’S FELLOWSHIP
We believe that all people are at the same time a saint and a sinner. No matter how hard we try, we will fail to do what we are to do; and we will do things we know we should not. As a community of faith, we believe we are strengthened and encouraged by each other to live out the gospel in every aspect of our lives
