Ascension, an Episcopal church in Greenwich Village, New York City, is a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive community of people who gather to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, to give praise and thanks to God through the beauty of worship, and to love and serve God and our neighbors. All are welcome to join us for worship, or sit and meditate in our pews weekdays, from noon to 3pm, when the church is open for quiet reflection and prayer. For 179 years we have been known as "the Church of the Open Door." We have a lovely garden on Fifth Avenue at 10th Street to sit and relax and watch the world go by!
