Our Mission

Love God. Serve Others. Grow Disciples.

You Matter + You Belong

Our Vision

Assumption Church is committed to making disciples by serving and loving our surrounding community in a way that bears witness to the love and presence of Jesus.

Our Strategy

We aim to be a church that people who don’t like church, like! Our strategy is to creatively reach out to disconnected Catholics in our Centereach-Lake Grove communities with a fresh and relevant presentation of the life-changing message of the Gospel to help them take their next steps on the path of discipleship to make them fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Our Focus

Our weekend experience is central to our strategy and the weekend message is central to the weekend experience. Music, message and ministers work together to create an irresistible environment of energy and excellence in which newcomers feel welcome and want to come back. 

Our Purpose

Worship

We believe in Orthodox Christianity, as taught by the Roman Catholic Church. The Eucharistic celebration is the source and summit of our faith, which we seek to live and serve with the whole of our lives in vibrant and creative ways. Excellence in our worship honors God.

Fellowship

We believe that our Baptism makes us one family in which we learn to love one another as Christ loved us. We strive to build a church culture through Small Groups where people are open and authentic, especially about their need to grow and change. We want to build a stronger community through fellowship after the weekend celebrations.

Discipleship

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God. Our preaching and messages aim to break open the relevance of the Bible for our daily lives Discipleship ultimately means life-change.

Service

We believe that the Holy Spirit has prepared works for us to do that will advance the kingdom of Christ. We recognize God’s call on our church to serve both within our parish and beyond.
