Welcome to St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Laurel, Delaware
The hope of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church is to create a Christian atmosphere where everyone can worship Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, accepting all persons as they are, supporting them in hard times and sharing the joy and thanksgiving of good times; nurture growth of our faith through worship, study, and serving, whereby each of us recognizes and accepts their God given gifts and talents, then, uses them to minister within St. Philip’s, our community, and the world.
