Philippi Christian Church was founded in 1871 and served the local community of watermen, boat builders, local business folks and farmers for almost one hundred years, at which point many new people began to move into our county in pursuit of vacation and retirement pastimes. Philippi has continued to welcome this growing new community with warmth and love while at the same time preserving the great traditions of the Christian Church.

Our Mission

The purpose of this congregation is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ in faithful response to God’s will and purposes revealed through Jesus Christ; and in the world to seek in all persons a faith and commitment to Jesus Christ; to serve the community of which it is a part; to bring the gospel message to bear upon society; to sustain and be sustained by the general and regional manifestations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ); to work cooperatively with Christians in other communions; to seek oneness in the body of Christ; and in all ways to seek to make known the love of God.
