St. Philips Moravian Church

About this church

St. Philips Moravian Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is a congregation of the Moravian Church in America, Southern Province. Regular Sunday morning worship begins at 11 a.m. at the Historic St. Philips Brick Church, 911 South Church Street, within the Old Salem Museum and Gardens complex in downtown Winston-Salem. The site describes the atmosphere as an intimate, family-style gathering and invites visitors to come for worship services or fellowship programs.

The congregation was organized in Salem in 1822 as an African and African-American Moravian congregation among a mostly enslaved population, and the site describes it as one of the oldest Black congregations in the United States and the only historic African-American Moravian congregation in the country. Early members worshiped in a Log Church from 1823 until 1861, and the name St. Philips was adopted in 1914. The congregation also has a church consecrated in 1967 on Bon Air Avenue, and the website mentions special occasions held at the Brick Church. The site also has history and outreach pages. Because the website refers to more than one worship location, confirm the current location and schedule with the church office before visiting.
