Our caring network of people like getting to know the names of our neighbors, building friendships with the homeless and others who feel on the outside, offering free tutoring for kids on the Eastside, building a school for orphans in Kenya and Honduras, or simply bringing by a pot of soup for a friend who is sick… all in the name of Jesus.

Our Values: At Washington Cathedral, we treat all people with dignity, respect, and kindness. God has called us to help those outside of the church to develop a real relationship with Jesus. We believe Jesus is God and that we can sense his presence and listen to his leadership in our lives.
