You Belong Here.
As a congregation of The Episcopal Church, we affirm the dignity of every human being.
People of every race, background, sexual orientation, and gender identity are welcomed into the full life of this community.
Our worship and our common life are strengthened by the beautifully diverse people God gathers here.
Reaching Out in Love.
At St. Paul’s Cathedral, love of God and love of neighbor are inseparable.
Through the Connection Café and other ministries of compassion, we serve our neighbors. Through our work with AMOS and community partners, we seek justice and healing in our city.
Our calling is not only to worship beautifully, but to love courageously.
