our Mission Statement

With God’s help, Christ Church, a cathedral parish in downtown Nashville, proclaims by word and example the Good News of God in Christ, seeking and serving Christ in all persons.

We are called to be

Disciples who pursue the presence of God in prayer and in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist

Evangelists who make known God’s plan for reconciliation, that all may grow into the full stature of Christ

Servants who seek the face of Christ in every human being and strive for the justice and peace of God

Stewards who acknowledge and honor the Holy Trinity as the source of all, in the care of creation and the right use of our gifts and offerings

Friends who welcome the stranger, bear one another’s burdens, and share in the ministry of the apostles’ teaching and fellowship

welcome statement

Christ Church Cathedral is a welcoming and inclusive faith community. Leaning into the Baptismal Covenant, our community strives for justice and peace among all people, and respects the dignity of every human being. We cherish the diversity of God’s people across all abilities, ages, economic backgrounds, ethnicities, races, genders, and sexualities. In the Episcopal Church, this diversity is represented in our bishops, priests, deacons, and laity. All are beloved and belong here.

Parish Mission Prayer

Almighty God, you made us in your image and call us to share in the renewal of this world: Inspire us to seek and serve Christ in all persons, that the proclamation of your Good News in our worship, in our words, and in our work may lead us into the fullness of your love; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
