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.

The Cross is
the Abyss of Wonders,
the Centre of Desires,
the Schole of Virtues,
the Hous of Wisdom,
the Throne of Love,
the Theatre of Joys and
the Place of Sorrow;
It is the Root of Happiness,
and the Gate of Heaven.
