Welcome to Como
Home to the most beautiful of the Italian lakes, and to the Church of the Ascension at Cadenabbia, one of Lago di Como’s most beautiful churches.
We have offered worship and fellowship to English-speaking visitors and residents since the 1880s, and we look forward to welcoming you in person. Whether you are living in the Como area and looking for an English-language church community, visiting for a holiday, or looking for the perfect place to celebrate your marriage, we are here for you.
Our Vision
We are an international Christian church made up of permanent and semi-permanent residents centered at the historic church of the Ascension in Cadenabbia, Lake Como, Italy.
We welcome visitors of all Christian belief to share in the love of God, serving Christ in worship and other community activities.
We seek to: strengthen and grow our community and its members spiritually; to support and encourage one another; to take responsibility for the ministry of the Church; and to reach out to our neighbours.
