Sharing the Good News

Our own joyful response to the transforming influence of God in our lives is to share joy with others. We call this Evangelism, and it is a direct outgrowth of community, spiritual discipline, and formation.

With a strong foundation of families who are committed to the Cathedral across generations, we are open and affirming for people of all races, ages, socio-economic statuses, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Whoever you are, and whatever your story, you are welcome to know God and one another here.

Building on this culture of welcome, we empower our community to share the Good News of Jesus in all areas of our lives: our work, our play, and our homes. Evangelism is largely about storytelling: the story of God’s work in the world. We also create spaces in Cathedral programs for all to share their stories, share their joy, and share the story of God’s love. The Welcome and Newcomers Council strives to welcome and incorporate people into the body of Christ and to empower people to be bearers of the Good News at Christ Church Cathedral and beyond. The council offers a variety of opportunities to build relationships with and for newcomers, many of whom are young. Through our Welcome teams, Newcomer Gatherings, Foyers, and Newcomer Lunch and Learns we welcome newcomers to the Cathedral and equip them to find their way to the center of the community.
