The Church of the Ascension

Talk about Hurricane Sandy Relief HQ. This place was operating like a Honda assembly line in central Ohio (that is, humming!), but pumping out relief items and fueled by love and care for those affected by Sandy.
Nothing but love and respect!

I take the G train most Sundays to get here, so you know it has to be good. I was born and raised Episcopalian, and my fiancé was born and raised Catholic, so we approached this place from different places but we both LOVE it here. Actually, he liked it so much that he decided to be received into the church — but you definitely don’t have to take that path in order to come here and enjoy the warm, diverse community or the always thoughtful and thought-​provoking sermons that are often oriented toward issues of social justice. You won’t find yourself condemned here, just pushed to constantly and mindfully better yourself, your relationships, and your community.
The 5 pm service is short and informal — right now there’s a great jazz piano player — and the 10 am service is more traditional. Often we have dinners after the 5pm service. There are also always classes and discussion groups going on that are open to people of all (or no) faiths.
