I'M NEW
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
OF THE ASCENSION
Welcome to Ascension, Hickory.
We strive to live by the message of Christ, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome. Walking a middle way between Roman Catholicism and Protestant traditions, we are a sacramental and worship-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and be, as followers of Christ. We are so glad you are here.
