Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Bethlehem: Cathedral Church of the Nativity

Jubilee Ministry Center

Since 2001 the Cathedral Church of the Nativity has been designated a Jubilee Ministry Center by the Episcopal Church for our ministry among the poor and the oppressed. The Cathedral is committed to an active and broad ministry in Bethlehem. Parishioners volunteer in a number of neighborhood ministries. Dozens of local community groups and ministries use Cathedral facilities throughout the year. The Cathedral's Canon Missioner leads our advocacy for the poor by providing direct care and by serving as a community leader.

The Cathedral is also dedicated to a life and spirit of financial generosity. Since 1999 the Cathedral has given away over $300,000 to local, national, and global ministries.
