AMES

Ascension was founded on Ascension Sunday, May 2, 1965, in the church building formerly housing Bethesda Lutheran Church. (Bethesda Lutheran built a new church building and relocated in 1964. Ascension began services a year later in the vacated facility.) Beginning in the early 1990's, Ascension's leadership identified a need for more space and parking, and more accessible facilities. In the early 2000's, Ascension purchased 7 acres of land on Bloomington Road. After years of prayer and planning, including two successful Capital Campaigns, Ascension contracted with Harold Pike Construction and built a new facility at 2400 Bloomington Road. The church relocated to this facility in March 2012... Holy Communion/Lord's Supper is usually celebrated on the first and third Sunday of each month. We believe that in the Lord's Supper, the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ are present in, with, and under the bread and wine. The Lord's Supper was instituted by Christ Himself for us..
