Peace and blessings to you this day!

The poet Rainer Maria Rilke once wrote: “Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”  (Letters to a Young Poet)

At Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Ascension, we don’t pretend to have all the answers. But we are willing to journey with you as together we live into the questions of faith and life. On this journey we blend together our personal stories of faith while exploring the great story of a loving and gracious God who seeks to be in relationship with us all.

Ascension has been assisting individuals and families on their journeys of faith and life in the Northfield area for over 50 years.

We strive to offer:

• Meaningful and inspirational worship services;
• A variety of experiences through which children, youth and adults discover and grow in God’s grace;
• Multiple opportunities to serve others through acts of justice and kindness.

If you are seeking to explore the questions of faith and life, if you are looking for a safe and nurturing community to take the journey with you, if you are looking for opportunities to be inspired, to grow in God’s grace and to serve others, then Ascension may be the place for you.

Thank you for exploring our website. We hope that it will give you a sense of who we are and what we offer. If what you find is of interest to you, then we encourage you to visit with us so that we can meet you face to face.

May God bless you on your journey!
