Episcopal Church of the Advent

Welcome to the Episcopal Church of the Advent

You enter a historic Gothic sanctuary where prayer, Scripture, and Holy Eucharist shape weekly life. The parish stands a block from East Main on Advent Street. On Sundays you can attend Rite One or Rite Two. Rite One uses traditional language. Rite Two uses contemporary language. Both center you on God through Word and Sacrament. Nursery care supports families on Sunday morning. Weekdays include Morning Prayer and a midweek Eucharist with prayers for healing. If you want details on service times or campus maps, visit churchofadvent.org. You will see a parish that carries a long history yet serves the city with fresh energy.

You can grow in faith through worship, study, and practice. The parish offers classes for children, students, and adults. You can join a small group, sing in the choir, or serve through outreach that meets real needs in Spartanburg. The liturgy teaches you to pray with the wider church. The Book of Common Prayer guides daily devotion at home and forms a steady rhythm for your week. If you want to explore the Episcopal tradition, use resources at episcopalchurch.org. You will see how Scripture, tradition, and reason work together in this stream of the Christian family.

You can plan your visit with simple steps. Park near the Parish and Community Life Center or along nearby streets. Greeters will point you to the nave, children’s rooms, and coffee hour locations. If you have questions about baptism, confirmation, or membership, speak with a priest or contact the office through the website. Start with one service. Say hello to a few people. If you want to go deeper, sign up for a class or a service team. You will meet a community that prays, serves, and welcomes you into a life of steady discipleship.
