When are your Worship Services?

Our congregation comes from a wide range of denominational backgrounds, but what we share is stronger than our differences.

What Do I Wear?

Wear whatever makes you comfortable! There is no "dress code" at Cathedral of Hope; we have people who dress casually to business casual to coat and tie. The important thing is that you join us for church and you come as you are! However, it can be cool in the Sanctuary, so we do suggest long pants or medium length skirts and maybe a light sweater!

What do you believe?

Our beliefs are based upon our Core Values. The Core Values of Cathedral of Hope are Compassion, Inclusion, Liberation, Hope and Faith in Jesus.

• We are a people of Compassion. We are ministers who embody the tangible love of a savior who fed the hungry, healed the hurting, and told us bluntly that what we did to the least we did to him.
• We are a people of Inclusion. This is a value Jesus held. We believe Jesus came to include, not to exclude. All are welcome around God’s table.
• We are a people of Liberation. We seek to challenge all oppression, particularly the oppression of queer people. By embodying grace we live out our liberation until all are set free.
• We are a people of Hope. We are people filled with joy and unrelenting optimism because we believe God is good. With God, all things are possible. God can use us to transform the world.
• We are a people of Jesus. We believe Jesus was the incarnation of God’s grace. Jesus was the ultimate liberal, who resisted the status quo of oppression and showed us the way to the abundant life God intends for all people.
