At the Episcopal Church of the Advocate, we welcome people
from every kind of household,
at every stage of life and faith and doubt.

We believe that through liturgy, contemplation, and community,
God transforms lives
for bold faith, compassionate service and social justice.

We are profoundly intentional about what we do,
because here we co-create a space, a place
that allows belief and bewilderment,

faith and not-yet-faith,
to mix and mingle, without assumption or judgment.
—Nathan Kirkpatrick, Priest Associate.
