The Anglican Communion has 80 million members in 160 countries and is a part of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
Anglicans seek to be biblically faithful while retaining the ancient traditions of the Faith. Anglicans hold the historic Faith of the ancient Church: built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone, upheld in the Scriptures, preserved in the Creeds, defined by the Councils of the undivided Church, and liturgically expressed in praise to God through The Book of Common Prayer.
Ascension is a parish of the Anglican Church in North America
We are a community of believers in Jesus Christ; one part of His universal Church. We are a family of congregations known as the Anglican Church in North America.
Our liturgical and apostolic roots are in the Church of England, but we trace our family line (or, "Apostolic succession") back to Christ’s Apostles through this church.
Our congregations, or parishes, are organized into dioceses, each of which is overseen by a senior pastor or bishop. Each congregation is cared for by ordained priests and deacons.
