Christ Church Cathedral

About this church

Christ Church Cathedral is the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, located at 1117 Texas Avenue in downtown Houston. Founded in 1839, it is described as the city's oldest congregation and the only one still worshiping on its original downtown site. Sunday brings five worship times: an 8 a.m. quiet Rite I service in Golding Chapel, a family-friendly Rite II service at 9 a.m., a principal Rite I service at 11 a.m. with the Cathedral Choir and organ, a Spanish-language Eucharist at 1 p.m., and The Well at 5 p.m., a casual contemplative service with acoustic music. Adult, children, and youth formation classes meet at 10 a.m., and the 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. services are livestreamed.

Free parking is available in the Cathedral Garage on San Jacinto Street, and visitors enter through the Cloister, where volunteers greet guests. Sunday mornings tend to be dressier, while the 5 p.m. service is casual. Weekday services, Evening and Morning Prayer, Centering Prayer, Bible studies, Education for Ministry, a book club, and a newcomer class are listed on the programs page, and the site also describes tours, a bookstore, and community partnerships.
