Current Sermon Series

Beyond Colorblind | KiNDRED 2020

April 19 –  May 24

Jesus prepares his disciples to go to the nations. To make disciples of all nations. Literally (in the language of the New Testament) that means: 'all ethnicities.' To do this we'll have to receive the gift of our own ethnic identities, learn how to appreciate the ethnicities of others, discover how the good news overcomes and transforms ethnic prejudice and hurt, and to work towards justice that sets all people on an equal footing before a God who so loves the whole world he gave his one and only Son. After Easter three of Seattle's great churches will cross lines of ethnicity and culture to learn from Jesus: Damascus International Fellowship, Evangelical Chinese Church, and University Presbyterian Church. The early disciples of Jesus will set the curriculum. The conversation will gain perspective through a study of Beyond Colorblind: Redeeming our Ethnic Journey by Sarah Shin. And we will teach one another as the Holy Spirit takes us deeper into an experience of the multi-ethnic family of God in Seattle. An experience that will culminate in a shared celebration of the messy beauty of Pentecost. Join us. We can't be family without you.

Sunday Worship Times

Traditional Services

Come and enjoy singing your favorite hymns, with music led by choir and pipe organ. Our 70-voice Cathedral Choir sings most Sundays September through June. Other music groups occasionally participate, such as our brass ensemble, woodwind group and string ensemble. Our Reuter pipe organ with 4 manuals and 70 stops (93 ranks) adds a magnificent dimension to our traditional worship services.

Contemporary Services

Experience our contemporary services that incorporate current worship music and a more relaxed style. Our contemporary worship team uses guitars, bass, drums, and the synthesizers to support the vocal ensemble who lead us in worship.
