Strengths
Throughout its history, Nativity has always been a place where one can come and grow. You will find a generous community, knit tightly together in faith and vision, which shares its time, talent, and treasure with each other and our community. We have numerous ministries both inside and outside the walls of the Cathedral. We have a strong youth program and our Youth Camp that has been ongoing for 100 years. Our Reaching Up and Reaching Out campaign has been an outstanding success. More than $3 million dollars has been pledged to help improve the aesthetics of our campus and to make Nativity more inviting and accessible to the community, as well as creating a partnership with Fountain Hill Community Grocery Partnership
Challenges
Revitalizing some ministries and increasing church attendance post covid.
