Episcopal Church of the Ascension

Seneca, South Carolina

​

WELCOME to the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, located in Seneca, Oconee County, in the beautiful Upstate of South Carolina, not far from Clemson University. We welcome all to our church and to our parish family. Our faith is based on the Word of God and dedicated solely to the Glory of God.

​

As a member of the Episcopal Church we believe in the unbroken continuity of One, Holy and Apostolic Church of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are part of the Diocese of Upper South Carolina. Our Bishop is the Rt Rev Daniel Richards. 

Over the past years, Ascension's Vestry, aided by a periodic congregational gatherings, has developed a parish mission statement, articulated the parish's values, and evolved a visioning process.  As a result, Ascension is a church whose parishioners see themselves as endowed with a clear mission and values for life, and a visioning to accomplish them.
