Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral strives to be

• a house of prayer for all people, where we worship God and proclaim the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ
• a loving, welcoming, inclusive community that nurtures faith, encourages service, and integrates social and environmental justice into our lives;
• a sacred gathering place for the Diocese of Olympia and the broader community in times of crisis, sorrow, and celebration.

Saint Mark's Cathedral is part of the Episcopal Church, and as a cathedral, serves as the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Olympia.

Saint Mark’s Cathedral acknowledges that we gather on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People, who are still here, and we honor with gratitude the land itself and the life of all the Coast Salish tribes. [Land Acknowledgment]

Saint Mark’s Cathedral is an inclusive community that welcomes all; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and nonbinary/gender-nonconforming people participate fully in the life of the church. In The Episcopal Church, the sacraments of Holy Matrimony and Ordination are available to all without regard to gender. [LGBTQ+ Ministry]
