Clergy, Parish Council, and Ministry Leaders

Holy Ascension Orthodox Church is a mission of the Diocese of the West
Orthodox Church in America

"People are attracted to the Orthodox faith because we offer something that other churches and other religions don't offer. We offer the ancient Christian faith, the faith of the apostles, and that history is alive. It's not something that's dead and sterile, but it's alive. The Holy Spirit is alive in the Church, constantly renewing the body of Christ in each place, in each time, in each civilization it finds itself."
