Christ Cathedral

Christ Cathedral is an Episcopal cathedral in Gothic Revival style located in Salina. The stone structure features a bell tower, eight screened windows, and eight pinnacles that rise above the main walls.

The cathedral began construction in 1907, funded by donations from Sarah E. Batterson who gave a substantial sum. Her generosity allowed this religious institution to be built as a lasting memorial in the community.

Nine stained glass windows in the choir and chancel area show scenes from Christ's ministry and reflect Episcopal traditions. These artistic works shape the interior and help visitors connect with religious imagery throughout their visit.

The cathedral hosts services on weekends at different times throughout the day. Visitors should plan their visit accordingly as the offerings and services vary depending on the day of the week.

Inside you will find original black oak chairs from a historic furniture maker and floor tiles decorated with early Christian symbols. These handcrafted elements from specialized manufacturers add distinctive character to the interior.
