A Welcome Message from Our Rector

Welcome to the website of the Anglican Church of Ascension, a parish church in the Diocese of Huron and the Anglican Church of Canada in London, Ontario. We’re glad you found us, and we are pleased to share some of what is special about our community — a community growing in commitment to live our daily lives as followers of Jesus. Ascension is a mid-sized parish: large enough to offer a broad range of ministry opportunities and activities, yet small enough that we really get to know and care for one another.

We offer Christian education, fellowship, and formation opportunities. We are active in our community through various outreach programs with a particular focus on various food security in our local area. In the wider church, Ascension has a long tradition of supporting the work of Alongside Hope, the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development and humanitarian relief.

Our Sunday worship includes an early meditative and contemplative said-Eucharist and a mid-morning contemporary Eucharistic order from the modern-language Book of Alternative Service, backed by piano, drums, guitars sometimes, and a congregation that loves to sing and worship freely and joyfully. Mid-week, we have a more intimate said Eucharist featuring dialogue sermons. We also offer occasional evening worship services and concerts.

As believers, we make faith matter in our lives. We trust that the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ is moving among us and within us. Prayerfully, our parish family is walking together to see where God is leading us and inviting us to journey with Him. We hope you will use this site as a resource to learn more about us, and we look forward to meeting you in person and perhaps welcoming you as part of our community. If you are looking for a church home, we’ve gathered some information that may help you on the Church Shopping page.
