Visitors and Newcomers
Peace and welcome to you! Christ Church Cathedral, an Episcopal church in the heart of Nashville, is the seat of the Bishop of Tennessee and a vibrant parish eager to welcome visitors and newcomers.
Since 1829, Christ Church has borne witness to the Good News of God in Christ in downtown Nashville. Through prayer, service, discipleship, and friendship, this community seeks to proclaim the Gospel by word and example, seeking and serving Christ in all persons.
If you are new to Nashville, new to the Episcopal church, or perhaps new to both, please take a moment and register your interest in Christ Church Cathedral here.
In addition, spend some time on this website to learn about the mission and values of the Cathedral congregation, the history of the Cathedral, and the Cathedral clergy and staff.
We invite you to worship with us on Sunday or at a weekday Eucharist. Anyone sitting near you will be happy to answer questions about worship at Christ Church Cathedral and opportunities for fellowship, education, and servant ministry.
Please also consider stopping by during the week to pray or to tour our historic church. Learn more here.
Families and Children
Christ Church Cathedral is home to hundreds of families from across Middle Tennessee. Childcare is provided at all major events throughout the week, as well as during our Sunday liturgies. The receptionist can direct you to the Cathedral’s nursery, located in the Undercroft (basement level, immediately below the Parish Hall).
A full complement of Christian Education classes is offered each Sunday for children, youth, and adults. Please consult the Christian Formation section of this site or contact the Reverend Canon Anna Russell Friedman for more details.
Life at the Cathedral
Friendship is essential to the Christian life. Christ Church Cathedral seeks to foster the bonds of affection among the congregation as members of Christ’s Body. You will find multiple ministries for fellowship that nurture life together, as well as many outstanding programs and events that bring us together throughout the year.
The Cathedral community supports numerous local and international not-for-profit organizations as they work for the common good.
All members of the Christ Church Cathedral community have access to guidance, support, pastoral care, and sacramental ministry during times of sickness, need, or transition, both from the clergy and from others in the community. Learn more about pastoral care, including healing ministries and ministries for the homebound.
