Understanding the Cathedral Church

Cedar Park is a Cathedral Church.

The Cathedral Model is not about architecture or the size of the building... it is about building a ministry. Simply put, a Cathedral Church is a local church functioning in an inspirational and leadership capacity through a variety of ministries. All these ministries serve the broader church and community.

When most people think of a church, they think of a worship service, Sunday School, and a youth program. A Cathedral Church is all of that, but its essence reaches beyond those traditional programs. It is concerned with the fullness of Christian ministry throughout a region.

Among the ministries of our church that help define the Cathedral Church are:

Cedar Park Christian Schools
Branch Churches
Funeral Home and Mausoleum
Cedar Park Counseling Network
Mechanics Ministry
School of the Arts
Cedar Park Athletic Association

The distinguishing characteristic of each of these ministries is that they serve the broad Christian community and act as an outreach to our neighbors.

This Cathedral Church Concept is catching on... churches around the country are tailoring these concepts to meet their needs.

These pages, listed at the right, are provided for a better understanding of the Cathedral Church model.

- To deepen the understanding of those involved in the ministries of Cedar Park.

- To broaden the influence of the concepts as they are adapted by other churches.

Please browse through the pages at the right, or you may want to begin by reading Pastor Joe Fuiten's essay on the Developmental Concepts of the Cathedral Church Model.
