Church of the Ascension

About this church

Church of the Ascension is an Anglican parish and cathedral of the Diocese of All Saints in Charles Town. Adult and teen Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by Holy Eucharist at 10:45, with a nursery and online viewing option. Midweek worship includes Wednesday Eucharist at 6:00 p.m., followed by youth and women's study, plus Friday silent prayer at 11:00 a.m. and Eucharist at noon. This unusually full sacramental rhythm gives visitors several alternatives to the main Sunday gathering.

Ascension describes its identity as evangelical, charismatic, and sacramental, with worship shaped by the Book of Common Prayer. In practice, that points to a church combining historic Anglican liturgy and Communion with an expectation of active spiritual life and Bible-centered teaching. Its ministries include prayer, age-based formation, small groups, and a developing vision for counseling and care. Someone comparing Charles Town churches can therefore expect more than a generic “traditional” service: Ascension has a defined Anglican order, frequent Eucharist, silent prayer, and both in-person and online Sunday access. Visitors should confirm weekday studies on the current calendar, since the groups following Wednesday worship may observe seasonal schedules.
