St. Philip the Evangelist Anglican Church

About Us

St. Philip the Evangelist Anglican Church began holding public services in Charlotte in September of 2008.   After merely a month our initial meeting space proved to be too small.   Services of Holy Communion are now held in our chapel on the lower level of 519 Breezewood Drive in Charlotte.   In the Spring of 2010 we look forward to moving into our own building which will double the size of our current worship space.


We believe the Holy Scriptures to be God’s word.  We confess the three ancient creeds of the Church:  Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian.  We believe in the real spiritual power of the Sacraments, that God is the author of marriage, and in the power of God to heal the sick and broken-hearted.  We also believe in the necessity of inward spiritual development and the outward amendment of life of every Christian.   As traditional Anglicans we worship God using the ancient liturgical forms contained in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. 

Is it really a church if you don’t have a big beautiful building?  It would be nice to have a large edifice, but the truth is that there are many church buildings where the faithful preaching of the Word would be unwelcome.   Have you ever heard of Billy Graham?  The church where Billy Graham was baptized and attended as a child was started in a small Charlotte storefront.  In Scripture we see that the early Christians met in members homes for “the breaking of bread” on the first day of the week.  Our small chapel is a wonderful place for us to worship and grow.  Won’t you come join us as we faithfully proclaim Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament?  Maybe, the child sitting next to you will be a great leader of the church in the 21st century.

To learn more about what Orthodox Anglicans believe please read What is Orthodox Anglicanism? An excerpt: "Orthodox Anglicans are committed to the Word of God, so we are equally committed to the work of God in the Holy Mysteries of the Church. We are sacramental Christians. We understand that the sacraments are divinely instituted means by which we receive the touch of God, and we receive them with faith, with joy and with thanksgiving."

orthodox Anglican Bishop Jeremy Taylor


"What can be supposed wanting in our Church in order to salvation? We have the Word of God, the Faith of the Apostles, the Creeds of the Primitive Church, the Articles of the four first General Councils, a holy liturgy, excellent prayers, perfect sacraments, faith and repentance, the Ten Commandments, and the sermons of Christ, and all the precepts and counsels of the Gospels. We … require and strictly exact the severity of a holy life. … We communicate often, our priests absolve the penitent. Our Bishops ordain priests, and confirm baptised persons, and bless their people and intercede for them. And what could here, be wanting to salvation?”                    
-Bishop Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667)
