St Philip's Anglican Church, O'Connor

At St Philip's, we glorify God and make disciples by creating a community where we live the love of Christ. "Come and see" said Jesus' friend Philip when Nathaniel asked him about Jesus. We invite you to "come and see" what the good news of Jesus Christ is about!
