St. Philip's Episcopal Church
Share a story
We are a very intentionally welcoming and inclusive congregation.
One of the hallmarks of the Episcopal Church, here in Brevard and around the world, is that we have ample room for a very broad spectrum of spiritual journeys and points of view. We ask at least as many questions as we answer, and invite everyone to engage in thoughtful and respectful discussion. And TOGETHER we focus on supporting and nurturing the faith journey of all who pass through our red doors.
Perhaps most importantly, our church extends well beyond its stone walls. We take very seriously our mission as Christians to spread the good news of Jesus Christ, in thought, word and deed, throughout this community and beyond.
Like our congregation, our worship is diverse. When you visit, we hope that among our services and fellowship gatherings you will find something that particularly appeals to you and your family.
We’d be delighted to talk with you here at church, or to meet with you in your home or somewhere in between, to hear about your hopes and dreams and explore with you how St. Philip’s might help you fulfill them.”
