Church of the Advent

About this church

Church of the Advent is an Episcopal parish in Cincinnati’s Walnut Hills neighborhood and part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Present there since 1855, it describes an affirming, diverse community connecting ancient Christian practice with art, music, education, ecological care, and justice. Its mission to feed body, mind, and imagination appears in a food pantry, a 24-hour free refrigerator, vegetable gardens, Scripture resources, and community learning.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. and streams on YouTube. Rooted in the Book of Common Prayer, the service includes Scripture, preaching, prayer for the world, and Eucharist every week. Robed ministers and ancient texts meet music influenced by traditional, folk, and gospel styles; sermons may connect Scripture with art, literature, or current events. Children’s teaching and activities take place in classrooms, a sanctuary project corner, or the gardens, and an usher directs families to that week’s location. Informal Morning Prayer meets Tuesday at 9:15 in Moffatt Memorial Chapel, with coffee welcome and 10 to 15 minutes of Scripture discussion. At least one evening service is held monthly, with details in the calendar. Public pages do not specify Sunday length, dress, parking, accessibility, nursery care, child check-in, volunteer screening, Communion eligibility, or livestream delay.
