Episcopal Church of All Saints and Ascension

The Episcopal Church of All Saints and Ascension, located at 4520 Lucas and Hunt Road in Northwoods, Missouri, is an Episcopal parish that resulted from the 2018 merger of two historic congregations. All Saints parish, the oldest African-American Episcopal church west of the Mississippi River, began as a Sunday school in 1874, while Ascension Church traces its origins to 1887. The unified parish serves as an open, inclusive Episcopal community dedicated to worship, spiritual growth, and community outreach, offering Sunday worship services, Bible study, and various ministries including a food dispensary and library.
