Ascension Dallas

All (Sorts of) Saints

On All Saints' Sunday 2011, we welcomed new brothers and sisters into the body of Christ, marking them as saints (holy ones) of God, baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The saints at Ascension come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, ages and backgrounds.

African Communities at Ascension

While Ascension has members from all over the world, we have particularly large communities from Nigeria and South Sudan. This diversity enriches our faith, enlivens our fellowship, and fills our bellies. This is not your average church potluck!

One Bread, One Body

We who are many are one body, because we all share one bread, one cup. Weekly worship at Ascension always includes a celebration of Holy Communion, according to the Book of Common Prayer

Youth Ministry

Junior and senior high youth at Ascension come from all over the metroplex. They gather in the name of Christ for mission trips, retreats, and weekly fellowship and study. And this year, the senior high youth are preparing for a pilgrimage to Canterbury, England.

A Place of Learning for All Ages

Ascension is rooted deeply in common worship and prayer, but it also a place of formation and learning. Sunday school for children and adults, special lectures, Vacation Bible School, small-group studies and retreats are just some of the opportunities to learn more about and grown in your faith at Ascension.

People Helping People

Ascension is a congregation of people helping people. Sometimes that takes can of paint. Sometimes it takes a bag of food from the Elaine Kadane Food Pantry. We have many ongoing, seasonal, and one-time outreach projects.

Clergy and Leadership

Ascension is blessed to have a five clergy on staff (pictured here are the Rector, Mother Kai Ryan, and Curate, Father Andrew Van Kirk). We also have a dedicated lay leadership who give of themselves to make the ministry of Ascension possible.
