Meet Our Rector, Fr. Jack Estes 

Fr. Jack Estes has served as the rector of Ascension Anglican Church (formerly St. Luke's), in Bakersfield, CA, Diocese of San Joaquin, since 2002. He is a graduate of Westmont College and Trinity School for Ministry where he earned his MDiv (Master of Divinity). 
He has authored Anglican Manifesto and Anglican Re-Formation in the wake of the Anglican crisis. 

Jack Estes is a parish priest who seeks to 'rouse the sleeping giant' of Episcopalians and Anglicans to a crisis of immense significance: two opposed worldviews nestled in the same 'comprehensive' church. Estes's cri de coeur will resonate with ordinary laypeople who may wonder what the future holds for their beloved church."
