Who we are
Ascension, Vallejo is a multi-ethnic congregation of families and singles, children and elders, men and women, straight and queer, following Jesus and growing in faith in the tradition of the Episcopal Church.
What we do
Why it matters
Who we are
Ascension is a worshiping, learning, and serving community. Through prayer, study, work, and fellowship, we try to live faithfully in community with our neighbors, with one another, with creation, and with God.

Why it matters
Since the beginning of time, God has made it known that "it is not good for people to be alone." Faithful community in a life-giving tradition strengthens and equips us for the blessings and challenges of life.
Worship and activities
Spiritual life in a community of practice takes many forms. At Ascension Episcopal Church, we understand and appreciate that God is present to us in creation, in the work we have been given to do, in our prayers, in the relationships we have with one another, in the commitments we make, and in the struggles, joys, challenges, and blessings of daily life. As individuals, families, friends, and community, we find God among us in these four ways:
1. PRAYER AND WORSHIP: In community, at home, and in solitude, God is present to us in our lives of prayer and worship.
2. STUDY AND LEARNING: Together and on our own time we read, reflect, and discuss the wisdom of our tradition found in scripture, commentary, and our own efforts to understand.
3. LIFE IN COMMUNITY: We love to gather for meals, fellowship, and other activities that strengthen our bonds of faith in relationship to one another.
4. ACTS OF LOVING SERVICE: Through our monthly food pantry distribution and other offerings of our time, talent, and treasure, we contribute to our community.
All are welcome.
