Many the gifts. Many the works. One in the Lord of all.
ANNUAL MEETING 2026
Dear Cathedral,
It is time for our Annual Meeting. Once a year, we are given the opportunity to look back at the year that has past, to learn and grow from our experiences, and to cast a vision for the year to come.
This booklet is designed to provide you with information about the life of the Cathedral in 2025. As you will see, it has been a remarkable year of growth and service. The vital signs of this community are very strong. Our attendance is up, our giving is remarkable and we made some wonderful improvements to our campus. Our virtual congregation is reaching thousands of people. We are a vibrant body of Christ in the heart of Jacksonville.
As the world becomes increasingly full of conflict and division, the light of this Cathedral is shining even more brightly. Please join me in giving thanks to God for the life of our Cathedral community.
In Christ’s love,

Almighty God, with whom still live the spirits of those who die in the Lord, and with whom the souls of the faithful are in joy and felicity; We give you heartfelt thanks for the good examples of all your servants, who, having finished their course in faith, now find rest and refreshment. May we, with all who have died in the true faith of your holy Name, have perfect fulfillment and bliss in your eternal and everlasting glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP p. 503)
“DISTURB US, LORD”
Disturb us, O Lord
when we are too well-pleased with ourselves when our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little, because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, O Lord
when with the abundance of things we possess, we have lost our thirst for the water of life when, having fallen in love with time, we have ceased to dream of eternity and in our efforts to build a new earth, we have allowed our vision of Heaven to grow dim.
Stir us, O Lord
to dare more boldly, to venture into wider seas where storms show Thy mastery, where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars.
In the name of Him who pushed back the horizons of our hopes and invited the brave to follow.
Amen
Dear Friends,
So much of our faith unfolds in rhythms that we return to, again and again.
From the beginning, God built a pattern into creation, creating the Sabbath — every seventh day to be set aside for rest and communion with God. In the life of God’s people, God established the Jubilee, a sort of reset every fifty years to forgive debts, restore land, and bless others — a regular reminder that we do not belong to our burdens, and our future does not depend solely on our striving. Our faith is filled with rhythms and patterns. And our Church echoes these sacred patterns: at the beginning of each year, we pause, we remember, we give thanks, and we ask where God is calling us next. That is what our Annual Meeting is for.
If you have been following along in this booklet, you will have noticed that we have now concluded the annual meeting, but much of this book remains. That is intentional, because our work continues. What follows in these pages is more than a report; it is an act of shared stewardship.
In the coming pages, you’ll find a fuller picture of our Cathedral’s life: where our revenue comes from, how our resources are allocated, what our ministry priorities are, who serves on our staff and in key leadership roles, and what opportunities and challenges are before us in the year ahead.
We are offering all of this information for one simple reason: this is your church. You are not an audience. You are not a consumer of religious goods and services. You are a vital part of the ministry God is doing through this community.
Most of us understand our household budgets and priorities: where the big costs are, what is coming in, what is going out, what we’re saving for, and what we’re trying to protect. In the same way, we want you to understand the life of your Cathedral — so that our mission is not carried by a few, but shared by all of us. And yes, some of this may feel analytical. But it is not unspiritual. In fact, it can be profoundly holy.
Because behind every line item is a story: a person served, a child formed, a prayer offered, a sanctuary maintained, a community gathered, a burden shared, a song lifted, a neighbor welcomed. This booklet captures our attempt to steward well what God has placed in our care — our resources, our buildings, our staff and volunteers, our legacy, our calling, and our shared future.
Jesus once told a parable about servants entrusted with their master’s resources while he was away. One buried what he had been given. Others invested what they received and returned it with increase. And Jesus commended not the fearful one who hid the gift, but the faithful ones who treated what had been entrusted to them with courage and care.
That is our goal.
To take what has been entrusted to us — this Cathedral, our mission, and so many gifts — and to use them well: to share God’s love, to build up God’s kingdom, to practice mercy, to pursue justice, and to deepen our life together in Christ.
We strive, by God’s grace, to be a community of Love at the Core — rooted in worship, shaped by discipleship, sustained by generosity, and turned outward toward the healing of the world.
Thank you for being part of this. Thank you for praying, serving, giving, inviting, and showing up. May God bless you, and may God continue to bless and guide this Cathedral in the year ahead.
In Christ,
“THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THIS. THANK YOU FOR PRAYING, SERVING, GIVING, INVITING, AND SHOWING UP. MAY GOD BLESS YOU, AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AND GUIDE THIS CATHEDRAL IN THE YEAR AHEAD.”
A Legacy of Birthing Ministries
To understand who we are today, we first have to remember who we have been and the work God has entrusted to us across generations. We have sought to be the kind of church that not only speaks of God’s Kingdom but demonstrates it—through faithful worship, courageous love, and practical care for our neighbors.
For well over fifty years, the Cathedral has not only sustained ministry within our own walls; we have birthed ministries that now bless our city and beyond. Again and again, the Cathedral has listened for God’s invitation, taken faithful risks, and launched ministries that have shaped our community, changed hundreds of thousands of lives, and proclaimed God’s Kingdom and God’s justice in the world.
FIVE MINISTRIES BORN FROM THE CATHEDRAL
AGING TRUE (1962)
Born from the Cathedral’s commitment to elder care and dignity, Aging True has become a lifeline for thousands—supporting older adults with practical resources, meals, companionship, and the kind of steady care that helps people remain connected, safe, and known.
EPISCOPAL SCHOOL OF JACKSONVILLE (1966)
What began as a bold vision for education has grown into one of the region’s most respected schools—forming young people with strong academics, moral imagination, and a sense that their lives can be used for good.
CATHEDRAL ARTS PROJECT (1993)
The Cathedral has long believed that the arts can transform lives. Cathedral Arts Project took that conviction into the community—making arts education accessible to children across Northeast Florida and helping young people discover their voice, discipline, confidence, and joy.
THE CATHEDRAL SCHOOL (2004)
Rooted in excellence, safety, and deep care for families, The Cathedral School has served countless children in their earliest—and most formative—years, building a foundation of learning and love that extends far beyond the classroom.
CATHEDRAL DISTRICT JACKSONVILLE (2016)
Our calling has never been only about what happens on Sunday. Cathedral District Jacksonville reflects a wider vision: a faithful presence in the heart of the city—helping cultivate a neighborhood where community can grow, flourishing can take root, and the life of downtown Jacksonville can be renewed.
NOT ONLY WHAT WE HAVE DONE – BUT WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW
And yet, the Cathedral’s ministry is not only the story of what we helped birth in the past. It is also the work we are doing today—now, with your help.
Two of the most visible signs of that living, ongoing mission are found right here on our campus: the Cathedral Bookstore and Gift Shop and the Center for Wellbeing.
THE CATHEDRAL BOOKSTORE AND GIFT SHOP
(moved to the Brown House in 2018)
The bookstore is more than a retail space—it is a ministry of welcome, formation, and connection. It offers a gentle on-ramp for newcomers who want to explore faith, a trusted resource for longtime members who want to keep growing, and a place to find meaningful gifts for all of us. In a world of noise and disposable things, the bookstore quietly insists that faith can be nurtured one page—and one conversation—at a time.
This ministry is also growing in a remarkable way. Since 2020, bookstore sales have increased by 500%, from $34,000 to $162,000. In 2025, the bookstore made a strategic decision to invest significantly in e-commerce and digital sales, which has helped propel that growth and expand our reach well beyond Sunday mornings and our physical campus.
So much of what makes the bookstore successful is the faithful team of volunteers who welcome customers, organize shelves, package online orders, and bring warmth and care to every interaction. We owe them a deep debt of gratitude.
CENTER FOR WELLBEING (2025)
$40,000
$20,000
$0
The Center for Wellbeing exists because we believe God cares about the whole person—mind, body, heart, and spirit. Given that conviction, promoting wellbeing becomes an expression of our belief that the Church can be a place where people find steadiness, support, and hope—where burdens are named, isolation is broken, and people are reminded they are not alone.
Since its founding last year, the Center for Wellbeing has served more than 120 individuals, offering support groups, spiritual direction, meditation, and coaching. This work changes lives. Through the faithful work of volunteers, people have gained tools to break out of cycles of poverty: learning about financial wellbeing, building practical skills, and learning how to search for and find meaningful work.
The Center for Wellbeing has also walked closely with people facing serious medical challenges: those newly diagnosed with cancer, those entering remission, and those whose prognoses have taken a difficult turn. In every case, the Center has been a place of community, love, and support—changing lives not by denying what people face, but by refusing to let anyone face it alone.
Between Aging True, the Episcopal School of Jacksonville, the Cathedral Arts Project, The Cathedral School, and Cathedral District Jacksonville—and more recently the Cathedral Bookstore and Gift Shop and the Center for Wellbeing—we see a consistent vision that God has given our community. We are a Cathedral that worships with reverence, serves with imagination, and keeps searching for the next faithful ministry into which God is leading us.
The story of our Cathedral is told not only in what we build, but in who gathers. Since the pandemic, in-person worship has grown from just a few dozen in 2020 to nearly 500 each week. Online, Cathedral videos were viewed 380,000 times in 2025—over 37,000 hours of prayer, preaching, music, and reflection. One inspiring example is Melly Allom from New Zealand, who discovered Dean Kate’s morning devotions while recovering from a brain injury. For more than four years, she has participated in an online discipleship group, growing in faith and community. Together, both near and far, we are one bread, one body, one Lord of all.

FINANCIALS
How We Concluded 2025
We are glad to report that in 2025 our total revenue exceeded what we projected, and total expenses were lower than budgeted. Most notably, because of your generosity, total pledges came in significantly above budget: $1,903,244 compared to $1,625,000. Because of this strong year-end position, we chose not to take $100,000 of the budgeted draw from our unrestricted reserves—and even without that draw, we still finished the year with a $132,057 surplus. This has put us in a position to invest in the future and address much-needed property investments. As addressed elsewhere in this report, we expect facilities cost will rise significantly in 2026, and we expect those costs to increase again in 2027 by an additional half a million dollars. Simply put, 2025 was a year when financial strength—made possible by your generosity—gave us the confidence to dream, plan, and invest for our ministries to have an even greater impact this year and beyond. Thank you.
Where Our 2026 Support Will Come From
In our 2026 budget, a little more than two-thirds of the Cathedral’s revenue comes from the faithful generosity of parishioners – pledges, plate offerings, and other undesignated contributions. The next most significant source of support is our endowment draws, which account for about one-fifth of the budget. These draws reflect the lasting impact of gifts from prior generations and help strengthen our long-term stability. Designated gifts – contributions given for a particular purpose – make up roughly 7% of our revenue and allow us to advance specific ministries and projects with clarity and intention. The remaining 4% of the budget includes miscellaneous draws and other income. We’re grateful to share that – because of your generosity – the 2026 budget includes a surplus of $11,873.
2026 Budgeted Revenue
DRAW $647,685 20%
RESERVE DRAW $50,000 2%
GIFTS $237,900 7%
AND OTHER INCOME $59,400 2% PLATE AND UNPLEDGED CONTRIBUTIONS $288,300 9% PREPAID PLEDGES – $183,052 6%
YOUR GENEROSITY HAS STRENGTHENED THE CATHEDRAL’S FINANCIAL FOUNDATION, WITH PLEDGES RISING NEARLY 50% OVER THE PAST DECADE—FROM $1.2 MILLION TO $1.75 MILLION. WE BROKE A RECORD IN 2026 WITH 277 HOUSEHOLDS PLEDGING $1,750, 287.72 IN SUPPORT OF THE CATHEDRAL’S MINISTRIES AND OPERATING COSTS. PLEDGES $1,694,000 54%

2026 Budgeted Expenses
To help explain our 2026 budget, we have organized our expenses into ten key ministry areas. Each area includes both the direct costs required to carry out the ministry and the portion of staff and clergy time devoted to advancing it. Because many members of our team serve across multiple areas, we have allocated salaries proportionally so that costs are assigned as accurately as possible to the ministries they support.
PROPERTIES AND SECURITY
$985,617
Our facilities represent the largest portion of our 2026 budget. In addition to budgeting roughly $250,000 for direct capital expenses, this area includes staffing support from our facilities team (including four full-time sextons and a facilities manager), along with other clergy and staff who devote time to facilities oversight. We also anticipate major operational costs including approximately $50,000 for security, $100,000 for insurance, $100,000 for utilities, and $75,000 for minor repairs.
FORMATION $87,276
In addition to direct program expenses for education and discipleship, this area reflects the significant time several clergy and lay staff devote to teaching, planning, and supporting formation across the Cathedral.
BOOKSTORE $143,981
Expenses related to the Cathedral Bookstore, including our Bookstore Manager and a part-time Bookstore Assistant, along with the direct costs of operating the store.
CHILDREN AND YOUTH $168,689
Beyond direct ministry expenses, this area includes a full-time Children’s Minister, a part-time Youth Minister, nursery workers and paraprofessionals, and the portion of time other clergy and staff dedicate to supporting ministries for children, youth, and families.
PASTORAL CARE $173,622
Along with direct pastoral care costs, this category reflects substantial clergy and staff time spent visiting hospitals, bringing communion to homebound members, and offering presence and hope to those who are struggling.
WORSHIP, MUSIC, AND ARTS $431,628
This area includes direct worship-related expenses (including the altar guild, flower guild, and organ maintenance), as well as staffing support: our Canon for Music, our Associate Priest for Liturgy and the Arts, a portion of our Director of Worship and Development, and support time from other clergy and staff.
ADMINISTRATION $429,055
Administration includes fees; professional services; travel; a portion of our internet and technology expenses; and direct costs related to stewardship and development. It also includes the portion of staff and clergy time required to keep the Cathedral operating smoothly – most notably our Parish Administrator and Bookkeeper.
OUTREACH $356,721
A significant portion of our outreach budget supports the diocese and the wider Church, alongside outreach expenses and staff/clergy time. Importantly, over the last two years we have also given more than $300,000 to outreach initiatives that would not have been reflected in the annual operating budget. In other words, we are likely to spend far more on outreach in 2026 than the budget reflects.
$349,596
This category includes video production, marketing, digital media, communications-related technology, and the staff time of our Director of Communications, our Communications Assistant, and supporting time from other clergy and staff.
AND PARISH ENGAGEMENT $195,735
This area includes hospitality and newcomer-related expenses, key parish events, the costs associated with newcomers ministry, and our Director of Welcome and Engagement, our Associate Priest for Welcome and Engagement, and other clergy and staff who contribute to this work.
Facilities Projections through 2030
To maintain our beautiful campus, we expect operating expenses of approximately $650,000 in 2026, including staffing (five full-time equivalent staff), property insurance, utilities, routine repairs, and day-to-day maintenance. Further, we expect these operating expenses will likely continue at that level or above to reflect inflation through 2030. We also anticipate capital expense averaging approximately $400,000 annually through 2030. In other words, we expect total properties and facilities expenses of $1,000,000 or more annually through 2030.
To project these capital expenses, we engaged a professional facilities assessment firm, Building Solutions, and they recently produced a detailed and comprehensive study of our properties and facilities. We are especially grateful to the parishioner who generously underwrote this work. We are additionally grateful for the careful study and attention provided by our Properties Committee and Junior Warden.
The table below summarizes the findings of the report. It offers a recommended timeline for addressing key facilities needs, along with cost estimates associated with each dimension of our Cathedral Campus.
This study and the careful assessment and planning by our staff show why strengthening our properties endowments remains a critical priority: so that we can steward our extraordinary campus, meet properties needs responsibly, and ensure the Cathedral’s facilities continue to support vibrant ministry for generations to come without having to burden our annual operating pledges and budgets.
Endowment Growth
Between 2015 and 2022, the total value of our endowment grew steadily—by about $100,000 per year— from $3,461,938 to $4,325,827.
Since 2022, however, we have experienced a remarkable confluence of factors: several significant endowment gifts, along with strong market performance. Because of this, the total value of our endowment has nearly tripled in just three years—growing from $4,325,827 in 2022 to $12,130,552 in 2025.
We are deeply grateful to those who have come before us and chose to remember the Cathedral in their estate planning. Their faithfulness is strengthening the Cathedral’s ministry—not only for today, but for generations to come.

Our Endowments: Stewardship for the Long Term
At St. John’s Cathedral, our endowments are a key for our ongoing success – preserving the beauty of this holy space, sustaining our mission, and strengthening our ministry for generations to come. Our four endowments are invested and managed with care, and are governed by boards that provide oversight, accountability, and long-range planning.
THE PRESERVATION ENDOWMENT – The Preservation Endowment supports the ongoing care of our facilities. We have inherited a beautiful campus, but it is extraordinarily expensive to maintain. This year alone, we will spend nearly $1 million on properties and facilities, so we must carefully manage the strength of our properties endowments to help cover these costs.
The Preservation Endowment’s annual withdrawal is capped at 5% of a rolling average of the endowment’s value, ensuring it will serve the Cathedral in perpetuity.
THE PLUMMER ENDOWMENT – More recently, we established the Plummer Endowment to support the long-term health of our facilities. It exclusively supports our properties, with two important bylaw provisions: if facilities needs are fully met, funds may be used for general operating purposes; and after a catastrophic insurance event, the Cathedral may draw from principal to cover major insurance deductibles. Otherwise, the Plummer Endowment follows traditional endowment discipline, including a maximum 5% annual draw.
THE LEGACY ENDOWMENT – Funds from the Legacy Endowment, unlike the two property-focused endowments, may be used for general operating purposes. The annual draw is capped at 5%.
THE GORDON MUSIC ENDOWMENT – The Stanley and Claudia Gordon Music Endowment is used exclusively for the benefit of our music program. It’s governing documents ensure that the endowment’s fund will be preserved to support the music program in perpetuity.
Endowment Snapshot
All Cathedral endowments are invested in alignment with our investment policies, reflecting responsible stewardship – including attention to environmental, social, and governance considerations consistent with the Cathedral’s mission and values.
OUR ENDOWMENTS ARE A KEY FOR OUR ONGOING SUCCESS –PRESERVING THE BEAUTY OF THIS HOLY SPACE, SUSTAINING OUR MISSION, AND STRENGTHENING OUR MINISTRY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

LEGACY SOCIETY
So much of our faith is about what we inherit, not what we build. The beauty of this Cathedral, the richness of our musical tradition, and even our deepest claim that we are beloved children of God are gifts we did not earn. They were handed to us by those who went before.
That truth invites a holy question: What will we leave to those who come after us? How will we carry this tradition forward, and pass the baton with faithfulness and love?
At the Cathedral, we honor those who have chosen to remember the Cathedral through planned giving: through a will, a beneficiary designation, or other forms of legacy giving. To celebrate this, we have formed a Legacy Society: a community of people who are living now, but who have already shared that the Cathedral will be part of the legacy they leave behind.
These are members who love this Cathedral so deeply that they want its worship, ministry, and proclamation of the Gospel to endure – even beyond their own lifetime. We invite you to look at the list below and give thanks for those among you who are part of this Legacy Society. *
