Welcome to St. Philip's

We are part of the Church of England and have been in the centre of West Howe since 1953. We believe that through Jesus Christ we can encounter the God who created and loves us, that when we engage with Him through worship, His word, sharing communion together and prayer, that we are transformed and equipped by the Holy Spirit to live as Jesus' disciples and serve Him in the world.

In all that we do we aim to share the love of Jesus whether through our words or deeds.

However, the best way to find out about us is to come and see for yourselves, so why not join us and see what we're like and what we get up to? We'd really love to meet you!

Living our faith at St. Philip's

In May, we held our Annual Meeting at St Philips which gave us the great opportunity to look back over 2023 and thank God for all He has done in our parish.

Take a look at what we got up to and see what life at St. Philip's looks like...

70 years of St. Philip's

In March 2023 we celebrated the 70th anniversary of the dedication of St. Philip's Church here in West Howe.

We had an afternoon tea where we were joined by friends old and new.

FAMILY FUNTIME

If you're looking for a welcoming space with something creative and crafty to do with the kids, where you can discover together more about the God who loves us and where you don't have to clear up or make tea, afterwards this is for you!

ROOM HIRE

We have been at the heart of the community here in West Howe for decades and we want to continue to be a place where people meet together. As such our church centre is available to hire for community groups and private events such as children's birthday parties and baby showers etc.

SAFEGUARDING

At St. Philip's we believe that each person is created in God's image and has an innate value and dignity. We are committed to ensuring that the church is a safe place for everyone, and St. Philip's PCC have adopted the Church of England's Safeguarding Policy.
