Our Worship Services

Although Ascension offers a variety of services, our services are unified in following the same four-part basic outline: Gathering + Word + Meal + Sending. These four, which go all the way back to the early church, are the thread that weave together God's Word and Holy Communion so that the worshiper in either format experiences the wonder of God's gracious presence.

Morning song, our new worship service has a new look, time, and feel to it.  It is a simple, prayerful, musical, and beautiful service.  There will always be a sermon, communion, prayer, and music.  Please come and worship with us at this new service Sundays at 7:45 - 8:25 AM, starting September 12.

The Festival Service Sunday 9 am will follow several liturgies including The Lutheran Book of Worship, The Feast of Life Folk Service, as well as Hymn-fests, Gospel Services, and Multi-cultural Services.

At our Festival Service at 9 am on Sundays, the Adult Choir lifts inspiring songs of praise.  The pipe organ, grand piano and instrumentalists all accompany the choir and congregation in jubilant singing.  The Folk Choir leads the “Feast of Life” service.  Their globally-minded songs are accompanied by piano, guitar, percussion, violin, flute and bass.  The Angel Choir and Joyful Sounds Choir bring the beautiful voices of our children to our worship.  Our Bell Choir provides glorious sounds!  They inspire us while presenting an anthem, accompanying a choir or leading a hymn.

Our Celebration Service at 10:45 A.M. on Sundays features the Celebration Band.  Lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, drums and vocalists lead songs that life awesome sounds of praise to our God!  Ascension was one of the first congregations in our area (and beyond) to create this style of worship.It follows a basic outline that features contemporary Christian music, high lay leadership and encourages personal faith stories during “Sharing Time.”  The Cherub Choir, our littlest singers, are once-a-month visitors to this gathering.
