Episcopal Church of the Ascension

Ascension is one of the founding churches in Vestavia Hills, having started in a member's home in 1953. Ascension is a multi-generational congregation, serving people of all ages. Rooted in the center of Vestavia Hills, many of our members live right around the corner while others commute from as far away as Pell City. The center of our community life is Sunday worship, which is steeped in the reverence and broad church traditions of The Episcopal Church. We continue to sing the ancient hymns of our tradition while exploring the best in emerging hymnody and our parish choir is one of the finest in the community. While Sunday worship centers our community life, we express our love for God through outreach to the community through service projects, contributions, and volunteering.
