The Episcopal Church of the Ascension

About this church

The Episcopal Church of the Ascension is an inclusive Cartersville parish whose Sunday schedule offers three distinct expressions of Holy Eucharist. The 7:45 a.m. service is quiet and contemplative without music. The 9 a.m. liturgy is relaxed, intergenerational, participatory, and normally lasts 45–50 minutes. The 11 a.m. service is more formal, with Rite II liturgy, traditional Anglican hymnody, and Canterbury Choir. A Wednesday Eucharist and healing service begins at 12:15 p.m. with anointing, laying on of hands, prayer, brief teaching, and Communion. Services can also be watched online.

Worship follows Scripture, the Revised Common Lectionary, and the Book of Common Prayer, with readings, a sermon, Creed, prayer, peace, and Communion. All seeking a deeper knowledge of Christ may receive the Eucharist regardless of age; Christians who prefer not to receive may request a blessing. The parish explicitly welcomes people across gender, race, ethnicity, age, ability, sexual orientation, economic status, family structure, and personal history. Local service has included racial reconciliation, HIV/AIDS care, helping establish Habitat for Humanity locally, and founding the Red Door Food Pantry, which now operates independently with continued parish support. Public pages do not specify dress, parking, nursery care, child check-in, volunteer screening, detailed physical-accessibility features, or webcast delay.
