About Saint John's Cathedral

Before Colorado became a state or even a territory, before the City of Denver was incorporated, our congregation was founded during the Colorado gold rush as the Church of Saint John in the Wilderness. Today Saint John's remains a vibrant congregation rooted in our history and continues its tradition of living on the frontier.

We are the Cathedral Church of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado. As a Cathedral, Saint John's is the seat of the Bishop of Colorado. The Cathedral is also a church for the City of Denver, a home for Episcopalians throughout the state, a leading congregation of the Episcopal Church and an active participant in the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Our mission is "to know Christ and to make Christ known." We live this mission by welcoming and including all. We are a community of communities, a large congregation with a place for everyone. We strive to include children and youth in all aspects of our life. We care for one another and also reach out to others who are in need. We are a house of prayer for all people. We are a place for questions and rediscovery, for stillness and growth.
