Who we are
Welcome!
Whether you have already walked through our doors or are simply “church shopping” on the web, we are very glad to welcome you to this diverse and vibrant community of faith.
Who We Are
For over 170 years, a building has stood on the corner of Texas and Fannin bearing witness to the Episcopal Church in Houston. Christ Church Cathedral today occupies two blocks in the heart of Houston and houses a variety of outreach ministries, a bookstore, a restaurant, an art gallery, a Montessori-style school and the offices of the Bishop of Texas. Above all, however, we remain an active and growing community of Christians living out Christ’s call in the world. We welcome all people as we seek to fulfill our call to minister to each other, to our diocese and to our city. We invite you to learn more by browsing the pages of this website and by coming to Christ Church Cathedral to experience it for yourself.
