Missions
The Ascension is committed to supporting the work of the world-wide church through its Mission Partners in the UK and internationally. We do encourage generous support of all these causes and you may give through our donate button at the bottom of the page.
Principles identified
Our Mission giving supports Christian activities that are generally outside the scope of our normal church activity and is done by others. Our intention through each relationship is for mutually enriching partnerships to emerge. Through our missions giving we seek to support local, national and international ministries that engage in relief & development, scripture translation & teaching, evangelism and church growth.
