Vision, Mission & Beliefs
Vision 2018 - 2023
With the guidance of the Holy Trinity, understanding and compassion, the Church of the Ascension embraces our traditional Anglican foundation and seeks to grow as a Christ-centered community, living and sharing God's love through joyful worship, celebrating the sacraments, faithful stewardship and outreach to current and future generations.
Mission
The Church of the Ascension proclaims that Jesus is Lord and Saviour. Our congregation, through the inspiration of God, has flourished for over a century.
We open our doors to those who seek a better life. As a traditional Anglican parish, we offer spiritual guidance and support to those who worship with us.
The spirit of Ascension is alive in our worship, music, family, fellowship and fun.
Our mission is to reach out to all in the community with the Good News.
Welcome to happiness and salvation!
Beliefs
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father. With the Father and the Son, he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. [The Nicene Creed arose from the Council of Nicaea, held in 325 AD]
