WHO WE ARE

Saint Mark’s Cathedral is a house of prayer for all people. We frequently say, “wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here,” and we really mean that. Saint Mark’s is a diverse group of people from all walks of life, and we are made ever richer by this diversity.

We serve as a sacred gathering place for the Diocese of Olympia, the broader Pacific Northwest region, and the Episcopal Church. Known for decades as “a beacon on the hill,” we open our doors to the broader community in times of crisis, sorrow, and celebration. More than 100,000 people cross the cathedral’s threshold each year, and another 100,000 participate virtually in cathedral services and events from near and far each year.

Together, we worship God and proclaim the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ, through our words and actions. We strive to be a loving, welcoming, inclusive community that nurtures faith, encourages service, and integrates justice into our communal life. We welcome you to consider how you might connect to the Saint Mark’s community.
