Welcome to St. Philip's
Who are we?
We’re a Church of England church and have been part of the heart of West Howe since 1953. At the centre of our life together is Jesus Christ. We believe that through Him we can encounter the God who created us and loves us. As we worship, explore the Bible, share communion and pray, we trust that God meets us, transforms us, and equips us by the Holy Spirit to live as Jesus’ disciples in everyday life.
Life @ St. Philip's
Community is really important to us. Following Jesus is a 24/7 journey, not just something for Sunday mornings, so we meet in small groups during the week to grow in faith, support one another, pray together and share life. We love food, value prayer, and regularly pray for our local community and the wider world.
Kids @ St. Philip's We are a family-friendly church and passionate about investing in the younger generation. We’re currently looking to appoint a part-time Children and Families Worker to help develop this work. Please join us to pray for the right person — and watch this space for the advert coming soon.
​
Our Vision In all we do, we want to share the love of Jesus and make Him known, and to be a place where everyone is welcomed and can find a home.
The best way to get to know us is to come and see for yourself — we’d really love to meet you
A year at St. Philip's
In May '25, we held our Annual Meeting at St Philips which gave us the great opportunity to look back over 2024 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...
KIDS @ ST. PHILIP'S
We believe children are a vital part of our church family, we’ve seen God do amazing things over the years and are looking forward to employing a part time Children & Families Outreach worker to develop this crucial ministry. Please pray with us — and watch this space.
