Family Ministry

We look forward to ministering to the whole family with offers of continued Christian education and Christian formation through ministry, Bible Study, and Sunday School.  Need a night out for your spouse and yourself, to relax without the hustle and bustle of kids?  Would your child or teenager like to become involved through service on Sunday mornings? Find out what it means to be an Acolyte.  If you are looking for an excellent private school education for your child, learn about Ascension Episcopal School on their website www.ascensionepiscopalschool.org.

Our Commitment to your Children

Ascension Episcopal Church does not take the care of your children lightly.  To work with children, our clergy, lay ministers, staff, teachers, and anyone who works around children, are required take a course called "Safeguarding God's Children."  This program is focused on preventing the abuse of children and youth. It informs participants of the ways predators gain access to and groom children for abuse as well as outlining the safeguards the Church has put in place to protect these children. Safeguarding God’s Children is a three-hour mandatory training for anyone working with children and youth in Episcopal churches, schools and institutions in the Diocese of Texas. 

• Mandatory background checks are also required.
• Certification training events are offered at Ascension.
• Registration forms are available through Parish Office as well as online.
• The diocese will issue certificates after training has been completed.

We highly recommend that all adults in the congregation take this course.  If you are interested in taking this course, or have any questions, please contact Miranda Griesbaeum at [email protected]. For additional information go to the Diocese of Texas web site for Safeguarding God's Children.
