Promoting communication, understanding, and collaboration among parish organizations and between the parish, His Excellency the Bishop, the diocese, and the universal Church to further the development of our relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Parish Pastoral Council is the Primary leadership group of the parish. Its broad focus is our parish life and mission. More specifically, we are working together to find ways for our two parish communities, which share a pastor, to share more.

Our Joint Parish Council serves as an advisory board for our pastor and parish staffs. The group consists of parishioners from both the Church of the Assumption and our sister parish, the Church of the Resurrection. Members are selected rather than elected.

We welcome all parishioners to contact any member of the council or attend one of our monthly meetings if there is anything you'd like to discuss. You can contact the council at [email protected].
