Barbara Shippy (email) is a lifelong member of Ascension—minus a few years here and there when she and her husband, Steele, lived in various cities across the Midwest. She and Steele have two young boys and are thrilled to be back in St. Louis. Having moved several times, Barbara understands what a blessing small groups can be to lifelong members desiring to grow in faith and fellowship, and to people looking for a new church home.
