Welcome to your Nelson Cathedral, a living church and place of worship and prayer and enjoying a reputation for musical excellence.

Christ Church Cathedral (Nelson Anglican Cathedral) is the principal church of the Diocese of Nelson, New Zealand.

​The Maori name for the hill on which the Cathedral stands is Piki Mai, which means “come up hither”.

​Our worship follows traditional Anglican patterns with organ and regular robed choir, although we also have less formal worship services.

​We are open from 8.30am to 7pm every day to give you an opportunity to visit, sit quietly and pray, meditate or light a prayer candle.  There is no entry fee.

Kid’s Programme at the 10am Sunday Family Service and toy area with service livestreamed.
