Worship is central to the life of St. Philip Presbyterian Church. You will experience this the moment you walk into the sanctuary. Its high ceilings draw you towards the front of this worship space, forward to the cross that spans from floor to ceiling over a beautiful mosaic of tiles. Worship at St. Philip can best be described as "a variety." It is a variety anchored in a simple liturgy. Our liturgy is in the Reformed tradition: we prepare to hear God's Word through confession, forgiveness, and fellowship, we hear God's Word through Scripture and sermon, and we respond to God's Word through offering and prayer. We share in the Sacrament of Communion on the first Sunday of every month, and we rejoice with each baptism as the opportunity arises. While we follow this structure, worship at St. Philip is a mix of the formal and the informal. We are inclusive of children, and we invite all children, especially those of kindergarten age and older, to stay for the entire service. We have bags with activities available, and there is also a "Time with Children" integrated into the service. Music (read below for more information) is central to all parts of the service, and vocal and instrumental choirs perform music ranging from classical to contemporary. |

| St. Philip's Music Ministries offer many opportunities for people of all ages and musical backgrounds to share God's gift of music. Our programs for children and youth offer a variety of age-appropriate opportunities for singing, ringing handbells or chimes, and participating in other activities which teach musical skills in a fun and supportive setting. Adults with musical interests may sing in the Chancel Choir, play with the Rookie Ringers or Bell Canto handbell choirs, or help provide Taize music for prayer services. All who wish to express their talents and serve God through the ministry of music are invited to join these programs at any time of year. |
