Letter from the Search Committee

Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral in Houston, Texas. We are glad you are visiting our website and hope you will check out our Parish Profile. We are prayerfully seeking the right person to serve as our next Dean, so if you find the portrayal in this website interesting, we are interested in hearing from you.

Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest church in the city of Houston, but we are far from old fashioned. Our worship is traditional, but our outlook is modern. We believe the primary message of the Gospel is love and that justice is love in action. We try to live that belief in reaching out to each other and to our homeless neighbors. We are looking for a visionary leader who will inspire, support, and encourage us in our efforts.

We are the Cathedral church of the Diocese of Texas, but we are also Christ Church Parish and the Dean of the Cathedral serves as Rector of the Parish. In the pages of our profile you will find pictures and details that we think will give you a glimpse of who we are and what we do. There is also a detailed description of the attributes we believe are important in our next Dean.

If what we are seeking resonates with your understanding of ministry, and if your experience has developed your skills to work with a diverse and very involved congregation, we invite and encourage you to consider Christ Church Cathedral. Please send a letter describing your interest and experience, your resume, and Ministry Portfolio to:
