You are a beloved child of God.

I don’t need to know your history, or accomplishments, or failures to know that you are precious to the Almighty. The mere fact of your existence is a sign that God created and loves you.

If you are new here at our website, it may be because you know this already and want to find a meaningful place to worship. Or it may be because you aren’t sure this is true about yourself, but some deep longing within you is calling to connect with God in Christ. At its best, church is a place where we can bring our vulnerabilities and lay them on the altar before God, growing closer to God and to each other, and then sharing that love out into the world.

I invite you to look around our website, learn more about us, and see if it resonates with you. None of us have it all figured out, which is why there is great joy in finding a community where we can sort it out together, following the path of Jesus. Perhaps you may find Ascension is that place for you.

Ascension is currently going through an interim period as they search for their next Rector, however, I am here to help shepherd them through this process and serve as their priest during this time. I have found them to be a compassionate, spiritually deep congregation, eager to learn, grow, pray, and serve others. Feel free to email me with questions, a prayer request, or if you’d like to meet over a cup of coffee. You can reach me at stephanie@amcipswich.org.

Blessings,
