    Our mission is from Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

    What We Believe

    Lutherans share a common heritage with all Christians and share the following basic affirmations in common with all Christian communities:

    Trinity - We describe God in three persons. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are commonly used to refer to the threefold nature of God. Sometimes we use other terms, such as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.

    God - We believe in one God, who created the world and all that is in it.  We believe that God is sovereign; that is, God is the ruler of the universe.  We believe that God is loving. We can experience God’s love and grace.

    Jesus - We believe that Jesus was human. He lived as a man and died when he was crucified.  We believe that Jesus is also God.  We believe that Jesus rose from the dead and that the risen Christ lives today. We believe that Jesus is our Savior. In Christ we receive abundant life and forgiveness of sins.  We believe that Jesus is our Lord and that we are called to pattern our lives after His.

    The Holy Spirit - We believe that the Holy Spirit is God with us.  We believe that the Holy Spirit comforts us when we are in need and convicts us when we stray from God.  We believe that the Holy Spirit awakens us to God’s will and empowers us to live obediently.

    Human Beings - We believe that God created human beings in God’s image.  We believe that humans can choose to accept or reject a relationship with God.  

    The Church - We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today.   We believe that the church is called to worship God, make disciples of Jesus Christ and to support those who participate in its life as they grow in faith.

    The Bible - We believe that the Bible is God’s Word.  We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice and that Christians need to know and study the Old and New Testament.

    Our Construction

    From Pastor Eddie

    I love to see healthy, growing churches!  I love it even more when I get to have a front row seat and actually be the pastor of a healthy, growing church!


    On October 4 Ascension will celebrate Lutheran Women’s Missionary League Sunday! These ladies have been in mission, and have been a blessing to me, the entire time I have been at Ascension! Bring those mite boxes and bless the Lord as we join Him in mission!


    October 11 is National Clergy Appreciation Sunday! So this clergyman is declaring October 11 as “I’ll Be There Sundae!” No gifts needed this year, only your presence.  So look at your calendar and mark it down! Then look in your mirror and say, “I’ll Be There!”  Wouldn’t it be great if we all showed up and ran out of room in Rathgeber Fellowship Hall!  It might even make us want to build a new sanctuary! 


    On October 18 we will hold our annual Operation Christmas Child Kickoff!  Get ready to pack those boxes!


    On October 25 we will hold our Texas District Church Extension Fund Sunday! Executive Director Becca Jones will be here to greet us in worship and speak to us in Bible class about our loan and how TXCEF investments make new ministries and sanctuaries possible! We will hear an update from our Building Team! This is an exciting Sunday that you also don’t want to miss!


    ray hard and hold on for the ride!

               “Now to Him Who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, through His power at work in us, to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen!”
