The Many Ministries of Grace Cathedral

Get Involved

We offer many ways to get involved and serve the liturgy or the community at Grace Cathedral. Learn more about all of our ministries below.

Bayview Mission

Children, Youth, and Family Ministries

Men of Grace

Committed to supporting one another, Men of Grace conduct a variety of activities to deepen their faith and provide service to the cathedral and wider community.

Seniors with Grace

The cathedral’s seniors are a diverse, stimulating community of seasoned people who are aging with grace. We gather to learn, grow, stay healthy and enjoy each other’s company — and everyone is welcome at our gatherings.

Stitching Ministry

To provide knit or crocheted items to comfort, soothe and care for those who might need encouragement or support in their lives.

Sunday Book Study

The 4:30 Book Study Group – an excellent opportunity for adult Christian education – has multiple study/discussion series during the year, each consisting of approximately 5 to 6 weeks. We are primarily a self-led group with members sharing a rotation of weekly leadership and selection of new reading material. All are welcome to attend even if you don’t think you can make all sessions of a particular series. Some of the authors which we have read include Marcus Borg and Dominic Crosson, Cynthia Bourgeault, Barbara Brown Taylor, Sinclair Lewis, Rene Girard, Karen Armstrong, Delia Ilio, Howard Thurman, and Richard Rohr.
