The congregation began as a Sunday school of Louisville's Christ Church Cathedral in 1870 which met in a store at Broadway and Baxter Avenue and was called "Sunday School of the Advent".
[1] As the Cherokee Triangle neighborhood of Louisville was being subdivided, the creation of East Broadway (soon renamed Cherokee Parkway) cut off a triangle of land that belong to Cave Hill Cemetery, which rendered it useless for burials in the carefully planned facility, so the cemetery company sold the land to the Church of the Advent.
[1] The congregation hired Frederick C. Withers of New York to construct the church building, and the cornerstone was laid in 1887.
The church was built in a late Victorian style, with limestone walls, a slate roof, a series of gables and a tower.
