About Saint Paul's Episcopal Cathedral
Saint Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Des Moines is a welcoming worshiping community grounded in the Episcopal tradition and committed to living Christ's unconditional love through fellowship, service, and kindness. The cathedral gathers for worship on Sundays at 8:00 am with spoken liturgy and organ music, and at 10:00 am with choir, organ, and congregational singing, as well as Wednesday services at noon. The community affirms the dignity of every human being and welcomes people of every race, background, sexual orientation, and gender identity into full participation in church life. Beyond worship, Saint Paul's is active in community service through the Connection Café and partnerships with organizations like AMOS, seeking justice and healing in the city while strengthening its own spiritual life through various ministries and small groups.
