Youth are an integral part of worship at St. Philip's — their visibility is evident in acolytes, choir, and drama.

St. Philip's offers many and varied opportunities for adults of all ages.

Whatever their focus, these groups provide opportunities for the development of Christian community — creating, nurturing and sustaining relationships.

Through them there is a place for service, learning, play, and expression of one's interests and skills.
