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.

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.
