Faith as a Journey

We believe God loves you – no exceptions. Wherever you are on your faith journey, we honor you.

Love in Action

We are called to engage with the wider community through the life and teachings of Jesus. Together, we work toward environmental, racial, gender, and LGBTQ+ justice and equity.

Transformative Relationships

Through God’s grace, we seek to embody God’s love in our care for each other. 

Radical Welcome

We are an inclusive community that seeks and serves Christ in all people. You are welcomed here.

This summer we conducted a parish survey (Congregation Assessment Tool), followed by the interpretation of survey results in August. After conversations around values this fall, we will continue in the new year with discernment around our parish priorities and goals as we strive to live into our baptismal covenant to seek and serve Christ in all people.

We look forward to your input! Please do reach out at any time with questions and suggestions.



Grace and Peace,

The Rev. Amy Dills-Moore

Priest in Charge

Erin Braden,

Senior Warden

Epiphany’s Art Ministry welcomes back artists from the Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter. All proceeds from this exhibit go to the Senior Art Ministry at this parish. Please make checks out to Holy Comforter.

A little background about Holy Comforter

Holy Comforter has been in Southeast Atlanta for over 100 years. In nearly every decade of that history, urban growth has changed the face of the neighborhoods around Holy Comforter, leading them to ask again and again, “Who is my neighbor whom God is calling on me to love?”

It is critical to understand that Holy Comforter does not run a program to help persons with mental illness; rather these people are the church gathered at Holy Comforter. These are the members of the Body of Christ who pray daily, who are fed by the Eucharist, who acolyte and serve, sing, run the altar guild, make pastoral care visits on Sunday, who bring their gifts for the service of everyone. These people, who are often alienated in society, are knit together by the love of Jesus Christ at Holy Comforter.

This is the book for people who have tried to debate and educate and argue and got nowhere; it is the book for those who have stopped talking to a neighbor or dread Thanksgiving dinner. It is an essential and timely book for all of us”
