Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist

About this church

The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Spokane is the cathedral, or mother church, of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane, which covers Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Worship follows the Book of Common Prayer and centers on Holy Eucharist. The Saturday liturgy at 5:30 p.m. uses modern service texts with contemporary music on piano. On Sunday, the 8:00 a.m. Rite I service is spoken in traditional prayer-book language, while the 10:30 a.m. Rite II service is a choral Eucharist with the cathedral choir and organ from September through May. A midweek Eucharist meets Wednesdays at noon in All Saints' Chapel and focuses on a different saint each week.

A nursery for children ages 0 to 5 is available during the 10:30 a.m. service. Sunday school meets from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. during the program year, September through June, with a primary class using Godly Play, an intermediate class for grades 3 to 5, and a middle school class for grades 6 to 8. A junior choir for ages 8 to 12 rehearses on Sunday mornings and sings at the 10:30 service. The cathedral also welcomes drop-in visitors for prayer and self-guided tours Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with guided tours on Friday afternoons; visitors use the Welcome Center entrance on 12th Avenue.
