Specialties

WELCOME

At the Church of the Advent, our arms are open to everyone. Like the diverse communities that create the vibrant Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago, we are a community of several races and ethnicities, social and economic backgrounds. We come together in love with one God, and we welcome anyone who would like to visit or join us.

We are all the richer for our members: English and Spanish speakers, home-​blessed and home-​less; straight folks and gay folks; people of all ages. We are artists, writers and musicians; students, teachers, and college administrators; nurses and care-​givers; postal workers and limousine drivers. We work all across the city, but when we gather together, we are a new creation that values and uplifts all of its members.

History

Established in 1901.

The Episcopal Church of the Advent was organized on the first Sunday of the Advent season in 1901.

At Church of the Advent I see a congregation that embraces the concept of the parish in the most spiritual way. The sense of community extends far beyond the people who attend services there and embraces the entire neighborhood. I found Advent because I identify as Episcopalian and it was the physically closest Episcopal church when I moved to Chicago, but even though I thought I would prefer a church with a larger congregation I keep going back because of the radical hospitality at the heart of the church.

My wife and I moved to Logan Square in 2010 and walked into the Church of the Advent because it was close by. Before we even entered the building the priest greeted us and introduced us to two parishioners who would become two of our closest friends. In addition to being a friendly, loving place, the Church of the Advent actually carries Christ’s love into the community with service projects that stretch out all over Logan Square and Chicago. I was amazed at the diversity in the church, too. There are old and young. There are English and Spanish speakers. There are democrats and republicans. There are gay and straight people. And what’s most amazing is that this diverse community of many opinions and cultures manages to work as a loving community. Truly no one is a stranger at the Church of the Advent. One of the hardest things about moving away from Chicago was leaving this church where we found community, love, and a true living of the Gospel message.

I could not say enough to praise Advent. I have spent a lot of time over the last few years hopping from congregation to congregation trying to find a spiritual home. It didn’t take me more than 30 minutes to know that I had found just what I was looking for at Advent. The congregation is so diverse and welcoming. I feel truly blessed to have been welcomed into their family.

I recently attended Advent Church, and have never seen such an engaging church before! Fr. Peter is a charismatic leader, and energizes his congregation. The church members participate enthusiastically in the service, which involves the attendees in many levels. Advent presents many opportunities for people to offer service to the community, and activities to build relationships amongst the members, including «Road trips» and such. Music is awesome, led by director, Marta Johnson. You should check out Advent if you’re looking to fill a religious void in your life.

My partner and I have been going to Advent for about two years and have found it to be a warm, spiritual home. Though it is a small congregation, it is a very passionate, welcoming and growing congregation! But most impressive to us are the service missions and outreach to the Logan Square Neighborhood.
If you are looking for a way to connect with your neighbors at a deeper level through service (Saturday Lunch Program and Clothing Closet for the homeless), prayer (either during services or as lay ministers at Fellowship House), or meaningful friendships — Church of the Advent is the place for you!
Be connected on a deeper level!

Advent is an extremely welcoming, progressive and authentic church. If you are looking for a church home in Logan Square or are interested in exploring the Episcopal Church, Advent is the place to start. Father Peter excels at presenting the Gospel in a dynamic and meaningful way. Members of Advent come from a variety of unique backgrounds. Advent is composed of members and visitors of all races, nationalities, sexual orientations, professions, and ages.
Sunday Worship, Communion and Prayer
On Sundays the church opens it’s doors for dog-​walkers, joggers and early birds at 8:30 AM for morning prayer. Worship and Holy Communion start at 10:00 AM and are followed by refreshments. The coffee hour is a good time to chat with Father Peter or get to know your neighbors. Fellowship is encouraged and the most outgoing parishioners often stay past 1:30 PM.
Wednesday Night Time Prayer in Logan Square
Join members of the Advent community every Wednesday night at 9:00 p.m. (at the church building) for «Night Time Prayer in Logan Square» — a 25-​minute service of reflection, prayer and song for the close of the day.

Not quite sure how I feel Unilocal-​ing about a church, but if it spreads the word on how fabulous everyone here is, then I’ll happily do it! Suffice it to say, my husband and I gave up Catholicism for Lent and found this amazing place. The people are awesome, Fr. Peter rocks, and we have found our spiritual home! :0)
