Welcome to the website of Church of the Advent of Christ the King, a parish of the Episcopal Church. We are an Anglo-Catholic church, that is, one with a strong emphasis on worship and the life of prayer. Here, in addition to a warm welcome by a diverse group of people, you will find an atmosphere of quiet reflection on the presence of God, great beauty in the visual aspects of corporate worship, and music that inspires and transforms. Here, through our life of prayer, you will find people committed to bringing the love of God, Incarnate in his Son, into the lives of all. I hope that we can touch your life with that love as you join us in worship of the Creator.

Welcome

Church of the Advent of Christ the King is an historic Anglo-Catholic parish of the Episcopal Diocese of California, which is part of the Anglican Communion of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church. Founded in 1858, we are one of the oldest parishes in the diocese. The parish is located in the Civic Center area of San Francisco in the heart of the city.

The Episcopal Church affirms that every human being, without distinction, is created in the image of God, and has a full and equal claim on the love and pastoral care of the Church.

If you are attracted to a Church which provides a full sacramental life of grace, with a compassionate, tolerant, and reasonable approach to the issues of life, without prejudice and without rigidity, we hope you will consider becoming affiliated with Church of the Advent of Christ the King.

We invite you to explore our web site and learn more about us.

Worship with Us

To be a member of Church of the Advent is to be a part of a worshiping community. Worship is the central purpose of the life of our parish, and we've maintained a strong liturgical tradition in our 150-year history. Daily worship is a central experience that binds us as a catholic Christian community.

Liturgies are conducted according to the 1979 Book of Common Prayer using Rite 2.

We gather daily to celebrate Mass on a schedule to fit the divers needs of the community in which we live. As Lent begins this year a new weekday schedule begins to offer something for the different timetables of our diverse congregation. Evening Prayer is offered on those days when there is not an evening Mass for a contemplative end to the day. Sunday Masses are a joyous celebration of the Resurrection of our Savior. We invite you to make daily worship a part of your everyday life.
