ABOUT US
Mission Statement
We are a Christian community of the Anglican tradition. We know and love God,
love our neighbor, and unashamedly share that experience with the world.
Who We Are
At A&HT, everyone is welcome! We are a warm and caring faith community of families and singles, young and old. Our members come from a wide variety of backgrounds and religious traditions, and live in neighborhoods throughout Greater Cincinnati.
 A&HT is part of the
Episcopal Church in the United States, which is a member of the worldwide
Anglican Communion (churches that have a common origin in the Church of England). Episcopal churches, or parishes, in the United States are grouped together under a diocese, which is presided over by a Bishop. A&HT is part of the
Diocese of Southern Ohio, which represents about 30,000 Episcopalians in more than 80 churches throughout the southern half of the state.

 Church
History
The present parish began in 1872 with the establishment of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Hartwell, a community adjacent to Wyoming to the south. In 1893, several families successfully petitioned the bishop for permission to begin
"Ascension Mission" in Wyoming, about a mile and a half from Hartwell. The site of the present church was purchased in 1894.
 After 75 years as two separate congregations, the members of these two churches voted to form one strong parish. With the merger of Ascension & Holy Trinity complete, a new church building soon became a reality. Proceeds from the sale of the Holy Trinity property and several major capital fund drives eliminated the parish debt. The present church was consecrated in 1975.
Church Facilities
A&HT's facilities include a church, education building, and parish hall, joined together as one unit. A memorial garden is located in a recessed area between the church and parish hall and faces Burns Avenue. A gathering place patio, created in 2005, is located next to the education building and faces Worthington Avenue. During the summer, a casual worship service is offered at 9:00 am on Sunday morning in this beautifully landscaped outdoor setting.
 The church's rectory, a historical Victorian home, is adjacent to the church complex on the corner of Worthington Avenue and Grove Avenue. The rectory is available to the parish priest for his/her residence. The church also owns a residential property on Grove Avenue abutting the rectory. This property is currently leased to a tenant family.
The parish hall and various meeting rooms in the education building are available for use, free of charge, by community groups. Please contact the
church office for more information.
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 am - 1 pm.
