My main disappointment, howwas a welcome I failed to receive. At the beginning of the service, the pastor instructed everyone to greet their neighbors in the pews, and that was the last anyone acknowledged me. The congregation (which skewed to young families and where seniors like me seemed to only be in attendance as part of a multi-generational family unit) were friendly with each other but not welcoming. There was mention of a "welcome table," however, as an introvert, I was not inclined to seek it out. There was no fellowship following the service.

Lisa Doege was our officiant and she lead our ceremony beautiful on our wedding day, as well as collaborating with us before the big day to craft a ceremony that was unique and personal to us. The church was a great size for our wedding of 135 people. We filled the space comfortably and the church was a beautiful backdrop for photos right in downtown Savannah. The square the church is located on is a quiet and peaceful part of downtown while still being centrally located close to the main parts of the city. UUCS music director David played piano during our ceremony and helped us coordinate other music and sound. Overall a wonderful experience. I knew UUCS would welcome us and all of our guests with open arms and they did that and more!

Even if you aren't religious, the sheer artistry of the structure is enough to leave anyone in awe. Why It's Worth the Stop: * Outstanding Architecture: From the street, the towering spires and French Gothic style make a powerful impression. It feels like a piece of European history dropped right into the heart of Savanah. * Breathtaking Interior: Once you step inside, the scale of the beauty really hits you. Between the vibrant stained-glass windows, carved statues and depictions, and the intricate murals, every inch of the sanctuary is a work of art. * A Peaceful Experience: Visiting during the week is a pro tip. Since there were no services in progress, the atmosphere was incredibly serene, allowing us to take our time and really soak in the details without the crowds. Pro-Tips for Your Visit: * Cost: There is no mandatory entrance fee, making it accessible to everyone. * Donations: They do suggest a $3 per person donation, which is a small price to pay to help maintain such a historic treasure.

"Beautiful inside and out", were the spoken words of a partitioner comparing the physical beauty of…read morethe church due to the capital campaign for continued renovations to the internally spirit filled, loving congregation and church leaders. Yes indeed, it is aesthetically beautiful inside and out and a loving, compassionate and spirit filled place of worship was felt as well. The Lutheran Church of the Ascension is on the National Register of Historic Places and sits on the NE corner of Wright Square in the historic district. The name is inspired by the large, beautifully imposing stained glass window, above the alter, depicting the ascension of Christ. It has remained an active Lutheran congregation since its founding in 1741. There are two Sunday worship services at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. with classes for all ages at 9:45 a.m. Church History: An intriguing history that begins with The Edict of Expulsion, on October 31, 1731, by Archbishop Leopold von Firmian that began the immigration of Salzburg Protestants from Austria/Germany to the new colony of Georgia. The history of Lutheranism in the colony of Georgia began in 1734 when some of these Protestants arrived in Savannah in search of religious freedom. They initially settled at Ebenezer, up the Savannah River from the British in Savannah. This was approximately 13 months after General James Oglethorpe landed in Savannah. On April 14, 1741, Johann (John) Martin Bolzius, who as pastor of the Salzburgers at Ebenezer New Jerusalem Church and in charge of Lutheran work in the colony of Georgia, organized the congregation that would become The Lutheran Church of the Ascension. As Savannah grew the Lutheran pastor began conducting worship services in Savannah, and Salzburgers continued to arrive seeking religious freedom. In 1756 the current site was purchased by members of the congregation. In 1844, a new Greek Revival brick church was built in the place of the original wooden structure, and in the 1870's the growing church remodeled and enlarged. During this renovation the sanctuary was moved to the second floor, the steeple raised to a height of 225 feet, and the beautiful stained glass of the Risen Lord ascending into heaven was put into its current place above the altar. It was in 1879 that the church took the name "Ascension" as it had become known due to the lovely stained glass window. Some interesting Civil War facts are that the church pew cushions were used as beds by soldiers during General Sherman's invasion of Savannah. Additionally, the church was turned into a hospital for sick and wounded, and the church pews were used as fire wood. On April 14, 2016, The Lutheran Church of Ascension celebrated its 275th Anniversary. Currently, during this mornings service, August 18, 2019, the announcement was made that the first phase of renovations are complete, and they will begin phase two. I write this review in honor of my Lutheran Yelp friend, from Germany, and his lovely wife, Klaus-Dieter R. I hope one day you will visit this beautiful church!
