Ascension Lutheran Church

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 on 2400 Bloomington Road. The church relocated to this facility in March 2012. The old church facility was sold to a developer on September 4, 2012.
