Become a Member
It is a great blessing, as well as a responsibility that we take seriously when individuals and families make the decision to become members of St. Philip’s. As a member of St. Philip’s we expect that you will engage in the life of our church family by embracing our mission statement as your own. We provide a variety of options for you to grow your faith and impact the world for Christ.
Membership FAQs
-
A member is committed to growing in their relationship with God by worshiping regularly, connecting with God through scripture and prayer, connecting with others in healthy relationships, participating in ministry in the church through classes, Bible studies, or small groups, impacting the world for Christ through missions and outreach, and supporting the work of God financially.

Attend a Taste of St. Philip’s dinner and/or fill out a membership form. If your membership is recorded in another Episcopal church, we will request a letter of transfer sent on your behalf. We are happy to welcome you into our church family! If you have any questions concerning membership, contact Sarah McKee, Director of Membership and Community Life.
-
Baptism marks the beginning of a new life in Christ. If you have never been baptized, we invite you to contact Sarah McKee to learn about the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. We offer baptism for infants, children, and adults at St. Philip’s.
-
No, not if you have been baptized at another Christian denomination in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:5 says, “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.”
Christians are baptized once, and we confirm our baptism once in the Episcopal Church. However, all baptized Christians are invited to reaffirm their personal baptismal covenant during baptism services.
Contact Sarah McKee for more information about baptism.
