Ascension Lutheran Church

Our Story

How did our church begin? As a mission congregation of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod in May 1964

How has it grown? Starting with worship in the community room of a former shopping mall at I-70 and Sterling Avenue formerly known as the Blue Ridge Mall, eventually moving to a house with 137 members in the original group. Our current church site was purchased in 1965; the first building completed in 1966 and a new sanctuary and classrooms added in the early 70's. We added a large gym and more classroom and meeting space in 1999. Church membership has grown over the years. We currently have over 350 baptized members.

Who leads our church? Our church is led by our pastor, Rev. Jim Dunn, who has been serving in our church since 2023.

What is our church's vision for the future? Although our activities change, our vision remains the same, based on the great commission from Jesus Christ to His followers - we are serving God and those whom he has placed near us.
