Ascension Press is a faith-formation apostolate and company. Our mission is to provide Catholic parishes, schools, organizations, and individuals with effective and engaging Catholic study programs, books, and other resources.
Always working within the heart and mind of the Church, Ascension’s materials are solidly Catholic while at the same time being accessible to the average person in the pew. We are a group of motivated lay-Catholics who have taken up the call of the New Evangelization with our whole hearts. We have built a strong reputation for providing the highest level of parish support and customer service, and each day we work one-on-one with priests, deacons, religious educators, teachers, and youth ministers to engage and nurture Catholics at all levels of their faith journey.
We consider ourselves blessed to do this work, and pray that God will continue to use us to bring His message to the world for many years to come.
WHO WE ARE AND OUR VISION
Based in the land of great microbrews and towering Douglas firs, Wipf and Stock Publishers is a creative team, an adventurous bunch who arrive to work with mud still on our shoes from the weekend ride or hike. Our staff handles every step of publication in-house, from customer service to editing and typesetting, from printing and binding to shipping.
Committed to writing that honors the imagination, intellect, and heart, we have a simple yet provocative model: with a list as diverse as our Northwest landscape, we publish based on the merits of content rather than marketability. Without agenda, we are shamelessly unapologetic about what we like: relationships, good beer, fine books, and enough coffee to keep us moving.
We believe in voice and breadth. From biblical studies to classic theology, poetry to history, our authors are experts, scholars, and artists. By combining innovative technology with academic excellence we are able to produce affordable books of enduring value. Our books never go out of print, and building lasting partnerships is always our focus.
