Our Mission
-
To Worship God in the Beauty of Holiness
At the heart of Arndale Cathedral is its mission to offer daily worship to God through prayer, music, and the sacraments. The cathedral is a sacred space where the presence of God is encountered, and the rhythms of prayer have continued unbroken for over 1300 years. We strive to offer worship that is beautiful, reverent, and uplifting, inspiring all who participate to draw closer to God.
​
-
To Welcome and Serve the Community
Arndale Cathedral is committed to being a place of welcome for all—worshippers, pilgrims, and visitors alike. As a beacon of faith, hope, and compassion, we seek to serve the needs of our local and global communities, providing pastoral care, spiritual guidance, and opportunities for service. Whether through charitable outreach, support for the vulnerable, or offering a space for prayer and reflection, we aim to embody Christ’s call to love our neighbours as ourselves.
​
-
To Preserve and Share Our Christian Heritage
As a custodian of over 1300 years of Christian worship, history, and architecture, Arndale Cathedral is dedicated to preserving this sacred heritage for future generations. The cathedral stands as a living witness to the enduring power of faith through the ages. We are committed to sharing this rich history through education, pilgrimage, and cultural engagement, offering all who visit the opportunity to encounter the story of God’s work through time.
​
-
To Foster Spiritual Growth and Learning
We believe in the lifelong journey of faith and are committed to fostering spiritual growth, reflection, and learning within our cathedral community. Through theological education, Bible study, and reflective worship, we encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to explore their faith, deepen their relationship with God, and grow in understanding of the Christian tradition.
​
-
To Inspire Through the Arts and Music
Arndale Cathedral has a longstanding tradition of excellence in sacred music and the arts. Through our choirs, organ recitals, and artistic programmes, we aim to inspire all who experience the cathedral’s offerings. Music and art are central to our worship and mission, elevating the soul and reflecting the glory of God. We seek to support and nurture creativity in its many forms, making space for both ancient traditions and contemporary expressions of faith.
​
-
To Pray for the World
As a cathedral, we hold a unique responsibility to lift up in prayer the needs of the world. Through our intercessions, vigils, and services of peace and reconciliation, we offer our prayers for those who suffer, for peace among nations, and for the flourishing of all creation. In a world often marked by division and uncertainty, we are committed to being a voice for peace, unity, and justice. (Change to Current Event Festerum AC)
