Candidates for Vestry and 2023 Nominating Committee

At Trinity's annual meeting on Sunday, February 12, congregants will elect vestry and 2023 nominating committee members.

In compliance with the cathedral by-laws, "any other nominations for such vacancies may be made by written notice from at least ten (10) percent of the qualified voters of the cathedral congregation." The by-laws call for a fourteen (14) day period in which they…

Mission Teams

Clergy

Derived from the Greek word meaning “elder,” the priest “represents Christ and his Church, particularly as pastor to the people; to proclaim the Gospel; to administer the sacraments; and to bless and declare pardon in the name of God” (BCP, p. 856). Trinity clergy pastorally and administratively support the cathedral congregation, sit as ex-officio members of vestry, and serve in diocesan and national church programming.

The dean is the clergyperson with pastoral and visionary charge of the cathedral, and who represents the Cathedral and the Diocese in the civic community of Greater Cleveland. Trinity was established as the seat of the bishop of the Diocese of Ohio in 1907. The Very Rev. Bernard J. Owens is the 12th dean of Trinity Cathedral. In 2002 Trinity Commons was added both to the historic building and the dean’s oversight. Trinity Commons offers meeting, office, gallery, and commercial spaces to the community.

    The Very Rev. Bernard J. Owens

    Dean

    The Dean's Blog

    The Very Reverend Bernard J. “BJ” Owens, IV was called as dean of Trinity Cathedral in fall 2018. He is the Cathedral’s 12th dean since its founding.

    In his first years at Trinity Cathedral, Dean Owens has worked to build on Trinity’s long history of transcendent worship, wholehearted inclusion, and committed service to the city of Cleveland, while celebrating and supporting the ministry of the many churches of Diocese of Ohio. Dean Owens has led the process of strategic visioning that identified Trinity’s vocation to be A Sacred Place for All People, and has guided the revitalizing of Trinity’s ministry structure to help achieve that vision. He is also a graduate of the 2022 class of Leadership Cleveland.

    Prior to his appointment at Trinity, he served as rector at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Greensboro, North Carolina for eight years. There, he led a growing church, with new members among both young families and mature parishioners. Before St. Andrew’s, he was the Associate Rector for Children’s & Family Ministries at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Cary, North Carolina.

    Dean Owens attended UNC-Chapel Hill and Yale Divinity School. Between his undergraduate and graduate studies, he worked in film production in New York City. He loves to hike, cycle, and do just about anything outdoors; he and his wife, the Rev. Jo Nygard Owens, live in Shaker Heights with their two children.

    Contact Dean Owens

    Trinity’s commitment to inclusivity and diversity is a joyful and essential part of who we are.

    Our core values of dignity and integrity call us honor and celebrate the image of God in every human being; as we grow in diversity, we expand our capacity to see and know God.
