Striving for Justice and Peace

Church of the Ascension is committed to being a safe and welcoming place for all.

We use gender inclusive language for God and humans and seek to honour and respect people of all races, cultures, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

We acknowledge that we live and worship on the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnabe nation.

We seek to use fair-trade goods wherever possible and to be responsible stewards of God’s creation, including the use of green energy to supply our electricity.


Ascension Activities

Refugee Sponsorship and Resettlement

Ascension has had an active ministry of sponsoring and supporting refugees and newcomers to Canada for many years.

This work is overseen by the Refugee Ministry Steering Committee,  which does the challenging work of receiving and responding to requests for help as the church’s resources allow.
