The Anglican Church of the Ascension (Sudbury, Ont.) began in January 1954 as a mission outreach of the Anglican Parish of the Epiphany (Sudbury, Ont.).

In the church's formative years it was known as the New Sudbury Mission and held services in Charles McRae Public School, Carl Nesbitt Public School, and in parishioner's homes. The first of these services was held on January 24, 1954 at Charles McRae school. Cyril Varney was the lay reader for the congregation until 1957, when Rev. Harry Morrow became the incumbent.

Shortly afterwards, the congregation obtained the land at the corner of Barrydowne Rd and Lasalle Blvd for their church's construction. On May 15, 1958 the work was started with a ground breaking ceremony, and on October 5, 1958 the Cornerstone for the Parish Hall was laid with Bishop Wright officiating. The first service in the new church was held on November 9, 1958. Much of the labour was done by members of the congregation.

In 2004 the Fellowship Hall was build on the north west side of the church, which is used by the congregation and community members for various activities. 

Incumbents of Anglican Church of the Ascension have included: Rev. Harry Morrow (1957-?), Archdeacon Anne Germond

The Anglican Church of the Epiphany (Sudbury, Ont.), is part of the single-point Anglican Parish of Epiphany (Sudbury, Ont.).

The first Anglican Church of the Epiphany opened on November 9, 1890 on its current location in Sudbury, Ontario.  The original church was of frame building construction.  The congregation had begun meeting as early as October 7, 1883.  The vestry board held its first meeting on April 5, 1891.  In 1894, Bishop Edward Sullivan consecrated the first church, which had also added a belfry and a bell. 

The expanding congregation precipitated the need for a larger church in the early 20^th-century.  The cornerstone for the second Church of the Epiphany was laid on July 30, 1912; services were held in the undercroft of the new church on March 16, 1913 (Palm Sunday) and the building was officially re-opened on April 27, 1913. Archdeacon Gowan Gilmor was the celebrant on opening day. The chancel was flanked by two rooms; one was intended as a vestry and the other to be a home for a pipe organ. The transept windows were stained glass given by Dr. and Mrs. R.H. Arthur and Mr. D.M. Morin. The church was debt free in December 1923 and consecrated in January 1924. A mortuary chapel was added the cemetery in the 1930s. Also in 1930 the East Window was installed in memory of the Rev. James Boydell, and the South Aisle windows were installed in memory of Jessie Elizabeth Fensom, George Frederick Fensom, the Rev. Philip Roger Beattie, and the Rev. Percy Frank Bull. A year later the Burroughs Memorial Windows were installed.

A parish hall was begun in 1941 and officially opened on March 6, 1942. Around 1945, a house was bought to be used as a rectory. A memorial window for those fallen in World War II was unveiled on June 12, 1950. The next project was the construction of a spacious narthex for the church. This began in October 1956 and was later dedicated by the Most Rev. W.L. Wright, Archbishop of Algoma on March 31, 1957. This addition provided vestibule space, cloakroom facilities, new offices, and a new choir room. In 1962 the stained glass window in the North Aisle was installed in memory of the members of the Women’s Auxiliary.

By the 1970s extensive repairs were needed on the building and the congregation unanimously voted to restore the building.  Restoration work including the replacement of all external brick was completed in 1982. This included the installation of the West Window in 1974 in memory of the Rev. S.M. Craymer.

The Church of the Epiphany (Sudbury, Ont.) was destroyed by fire on April 2, 1987.  Construction began on a new building almost immediately and during the rebuilding of the congregation of the Church of the Epiphany held services at St. Andrew's United Church.  The first services held in the rebuilt building were on December 24, 1988. On January 8, 1989 Bishop Leslie Peterson re-dedicated the Church of the Epiphany.
