Volunteer Opportunities

Ascension Episcopal has numerous ways that you can become involved within the church. From reaching out to those who cannot attend regular service, to helping us keep the buildings and grounds functioning and beautiful. Take a look – we're sure you'll find some way to share the talents God gave you!
