We Are Christ's Compassion in Action

Church of the Ascension is an energized and growing Episcopal congregation of about 130 households incarnating the heart of God in the heart of the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. We are an open and affirming people acting as the body of Christ in forming daily disciples through traditional liturgy and music, lively adult and youth formation, and creative stewardship of God's creation. We actively collaborate in the ecumenical mission through Operation Nightwatch, Mission to Seafarers, Tent City 5, and Earth ministry activities.
