Historic Churches & Cathedrals
A growing, community-built directory of America's historic churches, grand cathedrals, and landmark congregations, the stone and steeple of Christian America. Browse by state and city, and plan a visit.
Pick a state to see its listings. Along the way, learn the story behind the traditions in our guide to Christian denominations, brush up on terms in the Christian glossary, or explore how faith shaped the country in Faith & America.
Faith Set in Stone
From colonial-era meeting houses to soaring cathedrals, these are the churches that carried the American story, where communities were born, history was made, and generations have gathered to worship. This directory helps you find them, learn their place in the community, and plan a visit. Not sure which tradition a congregation belongs to? Our denominations guide and tradition quiz are a friendly place to start. Service times and tour information are best confirmed with each church directly.
