Welcome to Ascension!

​The Church of the Ascension is a diverse and welcoming Episcopal Church located in Chicago’s vibrant Gold Coast neighborhood.

Part of the world-wide Anglican Communion, we are grounded in rich Anglo-Catholic traditions in which we encounter God’s abundant grace and love for us and for the world.

Wherever you are in your life with God – hesitant searcher or long-time churchgoer – we pray that you may find a spiritual home with us at the Church of the Ascension. Please join us soon.

Alleluia, song of gladness,
   Voice of joy that cannot die;
Alleluia is the anthem
   Ever dear to choirs on high;
In the house of God abiding
   Thus they sing eternally.
