Status of Move to Bloomington 
The move from 7th & Kellogg to 2400 Bloomington is coming close. Right now, the plan is to continue having church worship services at 7th & Kellogg through the month of February, move our church offices to the new location during February, and begin our worship services and fellowship opportunities at the new facility on 2400 Bloomington in March. If all goes as planned, our first worship service at the new location will be on Sunday, March 4.

Ascension Seeks New Director of Worship & Music


In the wake of Eric Ishimaru’s acceptance of a call to Pastoral Ministry in California and anticipated departure, Ascension is seeking a new Director of Worship & Music. 

This person will provide leadership for the worship and music of the church, and report to the Senior Pastor and the Church Council.  Responsibilities will include serving as the principle instrumentalist for the weekly worship service, assisting Pastor T in planning worship services, and recruiting, leading, and directing various vocalists and instrumentalists in the conduct of worship.  Qualifications include a personal relationship with Jesus, an understanding of scripture and faith compatible with ALC,  and a music degree or equivalent experience.
