St. Philip's Episcopal Church
Share a story
The Reverend Robert C. Wall, missionary priest, gave the first Episcopal services in the city of Joplin on February 22, 1874. When Wall founded St. Philip's Episcopal Church the town of Joplin had been incorporated only a year.
St. Philip's was organized as a parish in May 1891 and in the summer of 1908 the cornerstone of St. Philip's Church at 706 Byers was laid. On June 22, 1911 Bishop Partridge dedicated the new stone church of St. Philip.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
