Every day Saint Philip's proclaims Christ's love by nurturing our church family, young and old, and actively reaching out to our community. Through our words and deeds we inspire, welcome and encourage others to journey together in Christian faith and growth.

The Mission of St. Philip's, as a Christian community in Laurel, is to bring all people to unity with God and each other.

To achieve this mission, St. Philip's provides:

Inclusive hospitality that welcomes and embraces all who come to our parish.

Worship that deepens and strengthens our connection with God, and inspires and empowers worshippers to lovingly serve Christ and humanity daily.

Christian education that nurtures and supports individuals and families in their spiritual growth.

Works of peace, compassion, and justice that proclaim the message and live in the spirit of Jesus Christ.

Shared ministry opportunities that help each person discover and become engaged in the ministries to which God is calling them.

Christian fellowship that supports, inspires and encourages one another along our shared Christian journey.

Offerings of ourselves to God's works through the gifts of our time, talents, and treasures for the shared ministry works of the parish community.

Community connections that actively reach out and invite others to grow with us in community as brothers and sisters in Christ.
