Small groups lead a vital ministry at the Cathedral. Several groups are well established and have set times and patterns for their meetings, and others are just getting underway. Many group members are learning that discovering scripture and uncovering common interests with others can bring joy and increased fellowship. God is revealed in new dimensions, and their faith has an increasing impact on their everyday lives. Listed below are the groups already functioning. If you are interested in joining a group, please call the facilitator or the Cathedral office.

FACILITATORS!! We are starting to put together web pages for the Small Groups. Please contact the Cathedral webmaster with more information on your group or if you have photos. You can get a full web page with whatever you want on it...just send us the information and we’ll get it online! As you can see, the pages are pretty plain right now, so please help us so we can help you.

Integrity is part of a larger national network of groups representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and straight Episcopalians working for full inclusion of LGBT persons in the Episcopal Church and equal access to its rites. Beyond advocacy, however, Integrity will focus on worship, fellowship, education, communication, outreach and service to the church. For over 30 years, Integrity has been the leading grassroots voice for Episcopalians who have in the past experienced discrimination. The local group is anxious to enlist support from a broad cross-section of the parish. Integrity’s national website is www.integrityusa.org.
