At St. Philip, both our Crossing Contemporary Service (9:00 am) and our Traditional Service (11:00 am) center around Word, Sacrament, prayer, and praise, but each offers a distinct style of worship. The Crossing blends liturgy with modern music—guitars, drums, and keyboards—creating a “come as you are” atmosphere with projected lyrics and a variety of musical expressions. Our Traditional Service follows the rich liturgical heritage of the Lutheran Church, led by choirs, organ, handbells, and other instruments, offering a vibrant and reverent expression of faith.

While we do not provide staffed childcare, we do have a Kid’s Corner room where children and their parents/guardians can step out of the worship spaces to get some wiggles out while still following the worship service which is livestreamed into the room. There are also other resources available for children in our worship spaces to make the worship experience more engaging for our younger disciples.
