ATTIRE | There is no dress code for our services. Whether you’re comfortable in an evening gown or board-shorts, please come as you are. Still confused? Check out our ‘what to expect‘ page. 
Children are welcome at Ascension. At our Sunday morning service we provide a space in which kids delight in playing with friends, know they are loved by God, learn how to follow Jesus every day and experience the Holy Spirit. We also think it’s important for children and young people to have time worshiping together with the whole Church family after which they go into groups. We also have a crèche for the under 3s and all our children’s workers are fully DBS checked to ensure maximum child safety in all our activities.
