Come early for Christmas and Easter services! The Church has been around for 150 years or so, which…read moreis the reason it's downtown, across from Linn Park. I grew up there because it was a compromise between my Catholic mother and Presbyterian father. Worked out well for me. If you are a lawyer who practices downtown, you should probably become a member - for some reason, ex-lawyers seem to be half of the Episcopal priesthood. But it makes them good speakers, which makes sermons worthwhile. The Church has been very good to my family, when my kids were born, when my mother died, and now that my father is homebound. They are a good group of folks, and I really appreciate them. The Church is also associated with the Advent Episcopal School for 4K-8th grade, which is where my kids go. See that separate review, but it's a great school.

We were enjoying the churches and buildings and looking for a park that I wanted to see and I found this amazing church. I just fell in love with it. It is very large and takes up an entire city block. I loved this church.. History I found out about it on the internet: he Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, is the mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. On March 30, 1983, the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Episcopal Church of the Advent The parish church of the Advent was established in 1872, one year after the founding of the city of Birmingham, and was one of the first churches built in the new city. The first building on this site was completed in 1873, but was soon destroyed by fire. The current structure, was occupied in 1883 with the tower and portico undergoing construction until 1885. The Cathedral is known for its historical location on Twentieth Street near Linn Park, as well as for the reputation of its music program. It was not until 1982, that the Church of the Advent became a cathedral, when the Diocese of Alabama selected the church as its seat The congregation undertook a major project to preserve the sandstone exterior of the Cathedral between 1999 and 2005. During this same period the Rector's Garden was redesigned to improve drainage and accommodate a columbarium and the belltower was refitted for a carillon of fifteen bells, cast by Fonderie Paccard of Lac d'Annecy, France. In both 2005 and 2012, readers of the Birmingham News named the cathedral choir "Best Church Choir". Today, the Church of the Advent comprises nearly 4000 members, making it one of the ten largest Episcopal churches in the United States.[2] The current Dean of the Cathedral is the Very Reverend Andrew C. Pearson, Jr.[3] The Cathedral campus is also home to the Advent Episcopal Day Schoo

This church changed my life. I strongly recommend it. I hope it can change yours.
