Trying to serve the whole community has always been an important focus of Ascension Lutheran Church’s ministry. As much as possible, Ascension makes its facilities available for important social ministries of the community. It even has a designated Community Room where some of these functions take place. Here are its current community based groups.
Community Ministry

Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who have had a drinking problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about his or her drinking problem.

Greysheeters Anonymous
