Ministries at St. Philip

Each of the worship services at St. Philip Lutheran Church ends with a dismissal which challenges us to live lives of service. The congregation responds “Thanks be to God.”

We take these words to heart as we send people into the world to serve. Jesus calls us to a faith that is active in love. The opportunities to live out our faith are as varied as the lives of our people.

If you want to get involved, but don’t know where you would fit best then fill out a spiritual gifts assessment. This assessment will help you to discover your spiritual gifts, the gifts God has given you, and lead you to something you really enjoy.

 

Gather, Serve & Celebrate

St. Philip Lutheran Church is a congregation that is being called to Gather, Serve and Celebrate! We gather to build and grow our relationship with God, those we know and those we don’t know. When we gather together, we care for one another, support one another, learn together, learn from one another and build community. When we Serve, we look at the needs of others: members of St. Philip, visitors, our neighbors around us, near and far, the world, and God’s creation. We come together to Celebrate, worshipping God to give thanks and praise to God. Celebrations are often filled with much joy, music, food and fellowship.
