Favorite Bible verse: Genesis 1:1–Revelation 22:21, for “the Word of the Lord endures forever.” ~ 1 Pt 1:25. And “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.” ~ Rev. 22:20–21
What I love about Ascension: I love the Ministry, School, Music, and People of Ascension. Their commitment to the true Christian faith and our Lutheran heritage makes it a place of genuine heavenly light upon a hill in our community. I have been richly blessed by God to be a part of such divinely gifted, generous, and gracious people. Here, Christ and Him crucified is at the center of our life together as we journey through here in time to there in eternity.

Martha Peters
Grade 2 Teacher
What I love about Ascension: I love Ascension because it is Christ-centered. We start the day together, focused on Jesus and His Word in chapel, and that Christ-centered message continues throughout the day in our classrooms. We are a family, and it really shows in our words and actions. We aren’t perfect, but we are forgiven and forgiving. I love that that message is taught to my own children and my students every day!
Free time activities: I love to read, spend time with my boys, cheer on the Packers and Brewers, and camp. I enjoy writing and would someday like to be an author or just read great books to kids all day.
