Church of the Transfiguration

Church of the Transfiguration

The Church of the Transfiguration stands at the center of the Community of Jesus on the shores of Cape Cod Bay.

Combining mosaics and frescossculpted bronzestone, wood, and glass, the art program recounts God’s saving acts from Genesis to Revelation, drawing on scripture, church tradition, and the local setting of Cape Cod.

A contemporary expression of an ancient fourth-century style of architecture — a heritage shared by all Christians — its shape reflects the Community’s monastic tradition and ecumenical vision. Constructed of Minnesota limestone, the architecture of the church features a long rectangular nave, a rounded apse at the east end, narrow side aisles, a peaked timber roof, and interior columns and arches along the side aisles. The St. Cecilia Organ gives a surround-sound voice to the church, with expansive pipework meticulously restored from twelve organs built by the E.M. Skinner Organ Company in the early twentieth century. The 100-foot bell tower is home to a set of 10 change-ringing bells, calling the faithful to worship, and sounding forth the praises of God.
