In the Gospels, just before the Ascension, we hear Jesus issue the Great Commission: "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20)

We know that the role of the laity in the Church is to help enrich the community through a diversity of ministry and a oneness in mission. 

In fulfillment of this call, the Ascension Community established the Commissions, to focus ministry efforts on the areas of our world most in need of Jesus' message of goodness, truth, and beauty. We invite you to learn more about the Commissions, and prayerfully consider becoming involved!
