People come to Charleston for many reasons. They come for the history, the beauty, and the opportunities provided by an exciting 21st century southeastern city. If you’re new to the area or are simply looking for a place where you can find community and engage Christianity, we would love to have you join us for Sunday worship at the Cathedral.

Liturgy
Read More
Our services are rooted in the rhythm of our historic Anglican liturgy. All who are gathered are invited to join in the reenactment of the story of the gospel through song, prayer, scripture, and sacrament. Our liturgy is drawn from the Book of Common Prayer, the worldwide source of Anglican worship. The 8:00 service follows the liturgy of the 1928 Prayer Book, which is the most traditional form in use today. The 9:15 service generally uses the Rite I liturgy of the 1979 Prayer Book, which retains the ceremonial feel of the 1928 yet updates the language. The liturgy of our 11:00 services is an adapted form of the Rite II liturgy.
Music

Our Choral service is steeped in the riches of the English choral tradition, and its corporate praise is based in the 1982 Episcopal Hymnal. Our Contemporary worship is in the folk-Americana style, and draws from sources old and new.

Nursery Care

At the Cathedral, we love children and seek to create an environment that is welcome, safe, and fun. We offer nursery care for children ages 0-3 during both the 9:15 and 11:00 services.
Cathedral Kids
Read More
We encourage families to worship together on Sundays. But we know the sermon can be a challenging time for kids (and their parents!). So children ages 4-8 are invited to a time of teaching and fun called Cathedral Kids during the sermon at the 9:15 and 11:00 services. Kids return to their parents before our Communion liturgy.
Communion

The second half of our worship is centered around the celebration of Holy Communion. 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 leaders.
