The Church of the Ascension

About Us

A historic Episcopal Church in Greenwich Village

Welcome!

NOTE: All services are online via Zoom until further notice. See the parish webpage for instructions on how to participate.

Whether you are drawn to our church for worship; for the beauty of music, art and architecture; or simply for a place of quiet and reflection, we hope you will find what you seek, and sense the presence of the Spirit in this place.

Ascension is an Episcopal church: an open, lively, inclusive community of Christians who gather to proclaim the good news of God’s love for all people. The center of our life together is the Holy Eucharist, which we celebrate on Sundays at 9 am, 11 am (with full choir), and at 7 pm, as well as on weekdays at 6 pm. Please join us- all are invited to the Lord’s Table.

We pray, sing, learn about our faith, and also have a lot of fun. Together we love and serve God and our neighbors, and seek to make a difference in the world. Please, let us know how we can be of service to you. We hope you will join us for worship, and share in our journey of faith.

In Christ’s Peace,
The Rev. Elizabeth G. Maxwell, Rector
