Music at Ascension

O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven;
Be ever present with your servants who seek through art and music
to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth;
and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty, and make
them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for evermore;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.   Book of Common Prayer (1979), 819

Welcome to the web site of the music ministry of Church of the Ascension, an Episcopal parish in Orlando, Florida. As a church in the Anglican tradition, our worship follows the historic liturgy of Word and Sacrament. Music is at the heart of our liturgy and mission as we worship, love and serve Jesus Christ. Our music includes expressions ancient and modern, eloquent and simple, familiar and new. We are a singing congregation who take seriously St. Paul's admonition to sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to the Lord (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16). In our worship we join the saints and angels gathered around God’s throne and sing: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" (Revelation 5:12) 

Worship at Ascension is enhanced through various choirs and instrumental ensembles that participate each Sunday. If you sing or play an instrument, we would love to have you join us. Please contact our music director, Bob Johnson, to see how you can get involved.
