We believe that, in Jesus Christ, every human need can be tackled — for the body, the soul and the human spirit. Our Lord commands us to work to meet human needs in service to Him.
St Philip's offers service and care in many ways. Some of them are described below, with links to pages that have more information. However, if some other kind of care is better suited to your needs, we may be able to refer you.
