Find hope, purpose, and community
A congregation of diverse believers with common goals called to worship God as our Lord and Savior; ministering to our communicants and community.
We welcome you to join us!
Ascension Episcopal Church was established in 1867. We are a member parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Nothern California, and are in full Communion with the Philippine Independent Church.
Our church is led by a team of clergy, staff, and volunteer lay leadership who work together to serve our community of faith.
Everyone is welcome!
Our worship follows the Episcopal Church's 1979 Book of Common Prayer, and makes use of other liturgical resources of the Episcopal Church. Every Sunday we share Holy Communion in a service that includes readings from Holy Scripture, prayers, hymns, and a sermon.
The first Sunday of every month we also include special prayers for healing and anointing with sacramental oil.
We have special services through the many seasons of the year and invite you to contact us for the dates and times of these services.
WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY
Drop-in lunchtime Bible Study in our Parish Hall every Thursday at noon. Bring something to eat, and your favorite edition of the Bible if you have one (we have extra copies if you don't!). Rev Steve leads our discussion and provides supplemental material. Everyone is welcome!
THIRD HOUR FAITH FORMATION
On the first Sunday of every month, we follow worship and fellowship with "Third Hour," a time set apart for deeper discussion of our tradition of faith and religious teaching: history, theology, liturgy, scripture, and the Episcopal Church are all explored.
COMING SOON: CONFIRMATION, RECEPTION, and REAFFIRMATION
Beginning in April of 2025, our monthly Third Hour discussions will follow a six-month Confirmation curriculum, leading to a visit from our bishop Megan Traquair on Sunday, October 5. Bishop Megan will celebrate Holy Communion with us, and also conduct the rite of Confirmation. (This also includes "reception" for those who were confirmed in another denomination, and "reaffirmation" for those who were confirmed in the Episcopal Church but who want to renew their commitment in Christ.) Contact Rev Steve (interim@ascensionvallejo.org) for more information.
