Welcome to Ascension!
​The Church of the Ascension is a diverse and welcoming Episcopal Church located in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. Part of the world-wide Anglican Communion, we are rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we pray that you may find a spiritual home with us at the Church of the Ascension.
