Welcome!  We are delighted to have you visit our website!

"Where you are welcome for a service or a lifetime"

 

Our building, which sits contentedly on  the corner of Second Avenue and  West Street in Parkesburg, lovely as it is,  is only a well-ordered pile of stone.    It is not the church.  The church is created, its body fed, nourished, and strengthened, each time people gather for worship, education, meetings, activities, and fun.   Thus sustained and renewed, the “church”  returns to the larger community as Christ’s Body here on earth, with eyes better able to see with compassion, sturdier feet upon which to go about doing good, and  hands more capable of holding, healing, and blessing.   The rhythm of receiving, of being loved without condition, and of giving to the world, one person at a time, is the rhythm of life, and is the heartbeat of Ascension.    As it says in our Mission Statement: “We are a Loving Community for All”   

Faithfully,  (The Rev.) Hank White
