Grace Episcopal Cathedral

About this church

Grace Episcopal Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas in downtown Topeka. Its Sunday life pairs a quiet spoken Rite I Eucharist with a larger Rite II liturgy led by organ, choirs, congregational hymns, and other music. The cathedral practices open Communion for baptized Christians and provides a lighthearted guide for visitors unfamiliar with Episcopal worship. Music is a defining strength: adults, high-school students, youth, and children lead worship, and the cathedral is affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music in America. Faith formation includes Club Jesus for children during the later service and seasonal learning for adults.

Sunday Holy Communion begins at 8:30 a.m. without music and at 10:30 with music and livestream access. Nursery care for infants through age four is available from 9:30 until noon, and Sunday School runs at 10:30 from September through May. Morning Prayer meets Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00 a.m. in St. Mary’s Chapel. Online Compline is offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 p.m. The cathedral is at 701 Southwest Eighth Avenue. Visitors wanting choir-led worship or childcare should choose 10:30, while those preferring a shorter and quieter liturgy may find the 8:30 service a better fit.
