St Philip’s Church is a beautiful and historic church. I really enjoy visiting here and being able to take in all of the history and architecture. They are warm and welcoming here and it is worth a visit if you are in the area. I have attended numerous services and events throughout the years and have always had a positive experience.

This is one of the most authentic traditional expressions of Christian worship around. Not to mention the thoughtful preaching that is as inspiring as the architect. Super easy service time as well.

Hard to rate a closed church; it was about 9 pm. A lot of character and architecture. Wish I had an opportunity to come back during the day and enjoy more of the history and beauty of this two hundred year old church.

One of the greatest blessings in our family was becoming members of St Philips! I was overwhelmed and nervous- because change, size and beauty- I didn’t think it would feel welcoming and was intimidated. I have never been so thankful to be wrong in my opinion! The clergy staff and members have welcomed us with open arms and we absolutely love being part of the St Philips family.

This fantastic cemetery is literally full of history. Each headstone is a complete work of art and such a huge piece of history that i was simply amazed at every step. Such a beautiful and peaceful place and a photographers dream come true. The old trees were amazing and i would love to come back here in the fall.

Beautiful place. 4 stars because I wish it were open more often to look around inside. I tried three times over the weekend, and only barely made it to peek at the sanctuary as they were closing up after Sunday service. From the website it looks like they are open during the day Monday-thursday, but I was only in town Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday.

Just went in to see it and a member of the congregation was there, if the whole church family is like him youll enjoy services. A sign also clearly states, the only ghost you will encounter here.... THE HOLY GHOST!! So super friendly and of course the Church itself is gorgeous.

Beautiful, historic cemetery is worth a visit. A ghostly Sue Howard has been spotted - and photographed - holding her infant, according to the iphone ghost tour we took. Spooky! Otherwise, the cemetery is very peaceful and well kept.
