Welcome to St. Philip Lutheran Church’s website. St. Philip Lutheran Church is a Christian church, following the teachings of Martin Luther. We are church who believes strongly in God’s love and forgiveness, what we call grace. This is why we work to intentionally build relationships through Christ to grow and serve.
We would love to have the opportunity to meet you and your family. Please feel free to reach out to Pastor Brad Doty or Melinda Svenkerud, our Children, Youth and Family Director.
We are located in the Columbine Hills community, at the corner of Kendall and Ken Caryl.

Ever wanted to try out puppetry??
This is your chance!
All are welcome!
Puppet Praise Ministry is an opportunity for kids to have fun with puppets. At each event, the kids learn how to put on a puppet show and practice with puppets as they get ready to put on a puppet show. This ministry gives children the opportunity to bring the Word of God to others through puppets.
