The Episcopal Church of the Advent in Madison

The Episcopal Church of the Advent in Madison was actually built in 1844 by the Methodists. The Episcopalians actually built their own church in the 1850's. When the Great Depression and the Boll Weevil hit in the 30's. The church membership dwindled to the point that the church was decommissioned and sold to the city. In 1953, the church was reconstituted and again grew to some prominence. The Methodists had moved to a new structure in 1914 and the building sat vacant until the 1961 when the Church of the Advent took it and remain there today.
