We are made up of families and single people from all over the greater Springfield area, we are a diverse multi-cultural parish, our educational programs are thriving, our music is unparalleled, we seek to respond to needs outside the parish bounds; and we have fun together.

Most importantly, we identify ourselves as a community in which the crucified and risen Jesus Christ manifests himself. Our lives are being transformed and nourished by God's love.

At the center of the musical life of Christ Church Cathedral is the Cathedral Choir, which leads the congregational worship and supports the singing at the 10:00 Eucharist each Sunday. The Choir's role is an integral part of the solemnity and pageantry of the service. Hymns and anthems are drawn from many musical styles and composers, spanning the past five centuries of sacred composition.

The Cathedral Choir has roughly 40 members, a third of whom are soprano girls and boys aged 7 to 14. In the traditional English fashion, these young singers are given an intensive musical education, rehearse several times weekly, and sing with the adults at all times as fully-fledged members of the Choir.

The Spanish-speaking Congregation has its own lively music program. Blessed with a grant from the United Thank Offering which allowed the purchase of guitars, bongos, tambourines and other Latin American instruments. The Hispanic service has grown into a spiritual feast with an authentic island flavor.

The Cathedral also sponsors a concert series as part of its outreach to the community.

The Cathedral Organ, a 1953 Austin of 53 ranks in 5 divisions, has had extensive tonal work, resulting in an unusually vibrant and dramatic instrument. It features a muscular, Germanic Principal Chorus, English-style ensemble reeds in the Swell and a brilliant French Trompette in the Great, lush strings, and vividly colorful flute stops. Visually, it is highlighted by a unique freestanding 32’ Wood Open Diapason in the north transept. The organ's effect is enhanced by the reverberant acoustic in which it stands.
