St Philip's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Philip’s Episcopal Church celebrates Holy Eucharist Sundays at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. in Southport, with the later Rite II service streamed online. The 8:00 Rite I liturgy uses traditional Elizabethan English and no music, while 10:00 uses contemporary language and choir. A Wednesday Rite II Eucharist meets at noon in the Chapel of the Cross. The Saturday Celtic service is currently listed as on hiatus.

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, an additional 9:00 a.m. Sunday service is offered at Malcolm Register Park on Oak Island, adding an outdoor seasonal option. A first-time guest can choose 8:00 for quiet traditional-language worship or 10:00 for choir and the livestreamed service. Summer visitors should distinguish the park gathering from the sanctuary schedule and verify weather-related changes. The worship page includes practical building information, including restrooms and seating, and newcomers can ask an usher for help rather than trying to navigate the historic campus alone.
