Church of the Ascension

Changes:

• Name:Church of the Ascension
• Website URL:https://knoxvilleascension.org
• Summary:Ascension presents itself as a Spirit-filled, welcoming parish with a range of worship styles — from a monthly candlelight Celtic service (every third Sunday) with contemplative worship and Holy Eucharist to daily Morning and Evening Prayer on weekdays (with Zoom access) and livestreamed Sunday services plus the AscensionCast podcast and sermon videos. Music and the arts are a hallmark: Friends of Music and the Arts brings visiting ensembles (including The Gesualdo Six on Feb 10, 2026), the parish choir and a Royal School–modeled Boys & Girls Choir lead liturgy, and frequent concerts and organ recitals are offered. Families and youth are well supported with a 9:00 AM nursery, Sunday School and Godly Play for young children, Tween and Tween Youth programs, and AYG for grades 6–12 (Youth Director/Media Evangelist Alexander Thomas); childcare is provided for many parish events and there’s a private Families Facebook group. The parish also emphasizes service and connection through programs like Stephen Ministry, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, ECW, Hungry Ministries, Justice Knox and the Becoming Beloved Community garden, plus regular small groups, labyrinth prayer walks, and community events such as a Mardi Gras dinner and monthly Date Night.
