To welcome everyone in learning, living, and sharing God's love and grace.
A Church is a community, an expression of God's will, a sanctuary for those times when we need shelter and nurture, a place to take up our armor to prepare to fight sin and evil, and so much more. Every task which is done in God's name is a ministry.  Every task which strengthens the Kingdom of God is a ministry. ​Join us in a service today.

A MESSAGE from Pastor Tim

Picture
 Hello and G’Day.  

I’m Pastor Tim Muller and I have had the privilege and honor of being pastor at Ascension Lutheran in Columbus for the past 10 years.  Ascension has been situated on Morse Road for the past 55 years, and before that for 45 years near to the Ohio State University.  That means that this is our 102nd year serving the people of Columbus.

Ascension is situated in a diverse and wonderful neighborhood.  That diversity is somewhat reflected at our church.  We have had a large community refugee garden for some years.  We are host to the Helping Hands Free Clinic.  Eight years ago we were part of establishing a partnered Swahili ministry. (We have worship in Swahili at 4:00 p.m. on the fourth Sunday of each month.)

Our worship and music life is rich at Ascension – with more traditional worship at 9:00 a.m. and more contemporary at 11:15 a.m.    This gives us about an hour in between services, for fellowship, and education for all ages during the school year. And we have study opportunities during the week. Check out our blog.

Our campus has ample safe parking.  You will see that we have a wonderful wedding park and we have been blessed with a partnership with Ascension Lutheran Preschool for over 50 years.
​

We are a church of the Good News of Jesus – a church of Jesus’ grace and forgiveness and healing.
Come and check us out.   Send us a question.   Give us a call.  And  Goodonya.   (That’s Australian for Good on you)  

God bless you,

Pastor Tim Muller

ASCENSION is blooming

Picture
​The blooming cross reminds me that we bloom because of Jesus, because of his life within us and amongst us. Life comes from Jesus, from his life-giving journey which we are taken into in baptism, and in Holy Communion, and in bible reading and study and prayer.

Come in and see the courtyard garden.  And the people are blooming! Ask the youth about their experiences at the recent ELCA youth gathering in Houston. I have heard stories of God at work. We are all blooming in God's love and grace.


Ascension is literally blooming! Come and See!

Ascension Lutheran Church is dedicated to the cause of Christ. We are the ambassadors for His word. It is not for us to save the world, but spread the Word of His love and grace. We are actively participating supporting our community through many different ministries. Our goal is to not only support these community missions through financial resources and volunteering, but also support them with encouragement and prayer.
