What people are saying

“Beautiful Lutheran Church established in the mid 1700s!!”

Nov 2019

As early risers we often enjoy visiting local churches when on vacation and it was a joy to visit this historical church while in Savannah. A husband and wife Co-Pastor and everyone we encountered Ascension was very warm and welcoming. They are obviously quite proud of their Church and their tradition and welcomed us to take all the pictures we wanted -- the Altar Guild had set up an absolutely stunning Thanksgiving Display on the steps to the Altar! We felt at home in the Church and members went out of their way to say hello, chat, and asked us to return whenever in Savannah. The nice thing is parking is free around the Church , but if one can not find a spot the parking lot right near by while let you park free if you show them a church program. We will be back worshipping with these folks when we return to visit and explore Savannah.

“Beautiful Historic Church”

Apr 2018

Nothing like visiting historic churches that were the center of the lives of our forefathers. How wonderful to walk and sit in a 200 year old church. Beautiful, preserved, and as relevant today as it was when first built.

Very impressive

Feb 2015 • Friends

Despite living in Savannah for almost 45 years, this was my first visit to this church. The stained glass windows were truly beautiful, in my opinion, much nicer than the ones at Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. The pipe organ was huge, and I would love to hear it played. The sanctuary was unique in that it is on the second floor. You enter the building, and then take an elevator or climb the stairs to the second floor. I believe someone said this is the oldest existing church building in Savannah. It is well worth a visit.

We were just visiting on our anniversary. The church was close to our hotel so we walked there on Sunday morning. Beautiful church, friendly people.

We happened on this church while walking about. We also lucked into a childrens choir concert too. A must see for its historical value. Be respectful when you go into houses of worship!

Stunning beauty!

May 2014 • Family

A unique style church on Wright Square in the historic district. This beautiful church has the deep red double doors and you have to take stairs or a lovely old elevator to get to the sanctuary on the second floor. The stained glass and architectural details are gorgeous!

Stunning!

Feb 2016

We saw a numer of churches in while in Savannah and I would say that is is one of the most beautiful.
The current appearance dates back to 1879.
Two particulars really stand out: the magnifient stained glass and the amazing Cassavant pipe organ - we were fortunate that when we visited the organ was being played.
A must see church even if for a brief moment..

A not so well known stop on the tour

We stumbled onto this beautiful church, walked inside and were wowed by its beauty. And as a very special gift, the organist was practicing. We had a "private" concert. It was amazingly beautiful. Giant pipe organ really sounded great. I recommend seeing this church.

Special historic church

We did not know what to expect as we entered the narthex and climbed the stairs. The stunning stained glass windows are beautiful. You are not aware of the enormous pipe organ which is to you rear. I would have loved to hear this beauty played by the organist.
If you are on the square please enter and receive a blessing

Beautiful Easter Festival service! The organ music, the beauty of the sanctuary, and the friendliness of the pastor & congregation make this a very special place to worship.
