Cathedral Church of Saint Matthew

Cathedral Church of Saint Matthew is an Anglican cathedral in Dallas featuring Gothic Revival design with a traditional Latin cross floor plan. The building contains stained glass windows from the 19th century and a large pipe organ with roughly 2,800 pipes.

The congregation began in 1856 in a general store when Dallas had roughly 400 residents, making it the third oldest church in the city. The cathedral building itself was constructed later as the congregation grew and the city expanded.

The cathedral hosts an art gallery featuring local artists and musical performances on its large organ. This blend of visual and performing arts shapes how visitors and residents experience the space today.

The site offers covered parking directly across from the entrance, with additional spaces near new apartment buildings nearby. This makes visiting convenient for those arriving by car.

An art center within the cathedral uses creative expression to address social issues in East Dallas. This connection between sacred space and community engagement through visual and performing arts is not typical for cathedrals in the region.
