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, hope and hesitation, statement and question, faith and not-yet-faith, to mix and mingle, without assumption or judgment.

—Nathan Kirkpatrick, Priest Associate.

Eating Together Faithfully

This fall, Hannah Boning and Jimmy McKinnell will be facilitating a group through Eating Together Faithfully, a framework for conversation from Life Around the Table. There will be eight conversations around eight meals discussing what it means to eat with God’s intentions for all creation in mind. How does the way we eat together reflect who we think God is? What does it mean for food to be healthy and just? Participants should expect good food,

News & Events

Where Did the Chapel Come From???

In December 2012, the Advocate moved an un-used carpenter gothic Episcopal church building from Germanton, North Carolina, 130 miles along back roads of the piedmont for adaptive re-use in Chapel Hill. This move was very much in keeping with the Advocate’s commitment to environmental sustainability, and also to our experience as a new old church, cherishing the past, while making it new for a new generation.
