What is Advent?

Advent is a time of active waiting as we anticipate the birth of Jesus. As the Rev. Kristin Kaulbach Miles explains, it’s a time to slow down and prepare our hearts for Christmas.

Grow in Faith. Find Community. Serve Our Neighbors.

We bring people together to experience God’s love.

      — The Rev. Matthew A. Welsch

      God is already, here and now, breaking into the world and setting things right — even and especially when it looks like things are falling apart.
