Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral Fan Club
Discover Kansas City’s Historic Episcopal Community
Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral is faith, history and community in the heart of the Quality Hill neighborhood of downtown Kansas City, Missouri. As the central parish of The Diocese of West Missouri, this beautiful cathedral has been welcoming people for generations and all are welcome in the love of Christ. As the Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral Fan Club, we want to give back to our wonderful church in some small way.
History
Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, established in 1870, has a long history. Originally named Saint Paul’s Church, it was renamed Grace Church in 1873. The current stone building, designed by Frederick Elmer Hill, was started in 1893 and completed in 1894. It’s transitional Norman Gothic with beautiful stained glass windows and a unique design influenced by English cathedrals.
Architecture at the Kansas City Church
The Nave of Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral is a work of art. 138 feet long and 60 feet wide with a 75-foot ceiling. Some of the most beautiful stained glass in the country is here, by Otto Heinigke, Frederick Stymetz Lamb and Tiffany Studios. The morning sun coming into the church is breathtaking.
Recently, the church has stepped into the modern age with two vivid digital church signs, capturing attention and delivering messages of hope to the surrounding community.
