ST. PHILIPS EPISCOPAL CHURCH • QUANTICO, MARYLAND
Seeking our next Priest-in-Charge
Rooted in faith and tradition. Growing in Christ. Welcoming all. Serving our community.
WORSHIP & SPIRITUAL LIFE
Worship is at the heart of our common life.
We gather each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. for worship grounded in the Episcopal tradition. We value thoughtful preaching, prayer, Holy Eucharist, music and the rhythms of the church year.
We value preaching that makes us think.
Our discernment repeatedly identified thoughtful, engaging preaching as something parishioners cherish and hope to find in our next priest.
Music
Something Exciting Is Happening With Our Music
Our growing multigenerational choir includes singers ranging in age from 12 to 85, with younger and older voices learning alongside one another.
Our Music Director has begun expanding our musical vocabulary through contemporary and multicultural hymns, and the congregation has embraced the opportunity to stretch into more diverse music.
We see music not only as part of Sunday worship, but also as a way to create relationships beyond our congregation.
We also hope to expand opportunities for Christian formation, helping adults and younger people explore Scripture, Episcopal tradition and the relationship between faith and everyday life.

A Little of St. Philips History

Even Our Windows Know Where They Live
Our sanctuary’s stained glass reflects not only our Christian faith, but the rural Eastern Shore community that built St. Philips.
Which means, yes, we have a muskrat in stained glass.

Come Grow With Us
We are not looking for someone to save St. Philips
St. Philips is already worshiping, serving, singing, caring, learning and loving.
Nor are we simply looking for someone to preserve what already exists.
We are looking for a priest willing to become part of this community and help us answer:
What is God calling St. Philips to become, and how do we get there together?
If that question speaks to you, we would like to meet you.
