Thank you for visiting us online! We would love to meet you in person, but until then, we will do our best to share a little bit about Advent through our website. Rooted in the Christian faith, Advent's mission is to Worship God, Follow Jesus, Serve others, and Make Disciples.

 

Known as a caring, loving, and multi-generational congregation, Advent is a congregation that focuses on worship, welcoming, service, fellowship, stewardship, and growing in faith. Through worship, prayer, service, and learning, we grow in our relationship with God and strive to make a positive difference in the world.

 

We encourage you to explore the pages on the rest of our website to learn more about Advent and its ministries. We hope to see you at worship and welcome you in person. If you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at secy@adventelc.org or call our Church Office at 614-451-3639.

When should I come?
Normally, we have two services on Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 11 a.m. with Education time for an hour starting at 9:45 a.m. 

So that you won’t feel rushed, we recommend that you arrive a few minutes before the service so that you have time to get settled, and if applicable, check your little ones into our fully staffed nursery.

 
​What should I wear?
Our worship services are meant as a place to gather in community to praise God, so come dressed however you feel most comfortable. We’re happy to have you join us, and we want you to be more focused on the worship service and the message than what you’re wearing. You can dress up or down at any worship service, and you’ll find that we have a variety of dress in attendance.

Where do I go?
Once you enter the building, greeters will welcome you and answer any questions. 
​
 
What will the service be like?
Typical Sunday worship includes prayer, scripture readings, music, a meaningful sermon (around 15 minutes or so), and Holy Communion.
