Sundays at
The Cathedral

We gather every Sunday for two distinct services. Come early for coffee, stay late for connection.

8:00 am Classic Anglican Worship

Quiet and contemplative, this service uses the traditional language of the 1928 Prayer Book and is in-person only.

10:30 am Historic Common Worship

Welcoming and lively, this service uses liturgy from the 2019 Prayer Book with both folk and choral music. Join in-person or watch the live-stream.

FAQs

What to Expect

Browse our list of frequently asked questions about services, childcare, and practices.

What are your Sunday services like?

Our services are rooted in historic Anglican liturgy which comes from the Book of Common Prayer. We reenact the story of the gospel through prayer, scripture, and sacrament. Our 8 am service is a “said” communion and is done without any music. Our 10:30 am service draws from the riches of historic church music and incorporates band, organ, and choir on most Sundays. Sermons are about 20 minutes long and are based on the Scriptures and point to Jesus.

What about kids?

We are a family! We seek to create an environment that is welcoming, safe, and fun for your kids. During the 10:30 am service, we offer both nursery care and kids classes. Newborns through 3 years old may stay in nursery care from the beginning of the service until Communion or through the end of the service. Kids 4K – 5th grade exit the main service with their adult leaders before the sermon for their own formation classes. They return with leaders to their household before Communion.

Will I receive Communion?

The second half of our worship is centered around the celebration of Holy Communion. Each week, all baptized Christians are welcome to receive God’s gifts of bread and wine at the table. Those exploring Christianity are welcome in our services and are invited to come forward at Communion and cross their arms over their chest to receive a blessing from one of our clergy.

What should I wear?

Come as you are. Some people dress up, others keep it casual. Our clergy who lead worship that day will wear vestments, which are traditional robes.

Still have questions?
