Cathedral of Hope

54th Anniversary

In 1970, 12 people gathered as friends here in Dallas with a bold vision – to create a community of faith that would welcome ALL of God’s people. On July 28, 2024, we celebrated 54 years of raising our voices - to speak God’s love for ALL people regardless of age, color, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other labels that others would use as a barrier to God’s radically inclusive, extravagant, boundless, and beautiful love.

This year’s anniversary held particular significance as we welcomed back our beloved Rev. Dr. Neil G. Thomas from his well-deserved sabbatical. Rev. Thomas’s leadership has been instrumental in guiding our congregation with wisdom, compassion, and a commitment to social justice.

There are many ways to celebrate our 54th Anniversary: Hosting an Anniversary Dinner, Making a Gift to Support Cathedral of Hope, or Joining us for Worship!

Join the Celebration!

Cathedral of Hope is turning 54, and we're excited to celebrate this momentous occasion with a series of community events throughout the rest of the year!
