All are welcome at our worship services, prayer, and programs whether they are formal members of the congregation or not. If you are interested in membership in our community, it involves regular attendance at worship, making a financial commitment of any amount to the mission and ministry of the cathedral, and being baptized, confirmed, or received.
Christ Church was founded in 1858, when Eau Claire was little more than a small logging community. It was made into a cathedral in 1928, when the Diocese of Eau Claire was formed out of a portion of the Diocese of Milwaukee. A cathedral is the ‘Mother Church’ of a diocese, and it is the church where the bishop of the diocese is seated, so the cathedral is a pilgrimage center for all Episcopal congregations in northwestern Wisconsin. The Episcopal Diocese of Eau Claire is part of the Episcopal Church in the United States, and also part of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral, one of three cathedrals in the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin. We are a community of people who love Jesus and our neighbors, working together to make our shared life a place of beauty, holiness, service, and welcome. Whether you’ve been with us for years or are new to the area, we invite you to join us in our mission to serve, grow, and live out the love of Christ. Here, you’ll find a community that values connection, compassion, and purpose — a place where all are welcome and where your presence truly matters. Come, be part of something greater as we journey together in faith.
Our church has a strong vocation to extend the radical hospitality of the Gospel to all people. This means welcoming all people to our worship service and loving them unconditionally, without judgment. We value the diversity of people with which God has enriched all of our lives, and we honor rational and constructive conversation between people of different beliefs and viewpoints. Only by engaging with others can we hope to be formed by the Holy Spirit into the image of Christ.
