At St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral, the beauty of ancient worship and traditional spiritual practices transform contemporary urban lives. Join us as together we discover the sacred in the heart of the city.
St. John’s is a house of prayer where all people can come to know the compassionate heart of Jesus. We are a diverse, intentionally cross-cultural community of progressive Christians where you can belong before you believe. Our worship includes ancient and contemporary symbols and practices and preaching to inspire you to follow Jesus in your daily life. The best way to know who we are is to come and see how we worship God.
Worship is the core of our entire life here at St. John’s. In particular the Sunday celebration of the Holy Eucharist, or the mass, is the central act of our community life. All that we do flows from this source.

We believe all people are invited to be part of this great project God has begun. So no matter who you are, where you have come from, whatever your ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, whether you are rich or poor or middle-class we invite you to be part of our community. We believe our diversity enriches us.
