As a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, St. Philip's believes that we are created in God's image, and each of us is reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. We echo the ELCA's statement on diversity and inclusion: 

​

As Christ's church, we value the richness of God's creation and offer a radical welcome to all people, appreciating our common humanity and our differences. We are a church that does not view diversity as a barrier to unity. We recognize and will challenge dynamics of power and privilege that create barriers to participation and equity in this church and society – for women, people of color, minority ethnic groups, people with disabilities, people who are marginalized or living in poverty, and the LGBTQ community.

​

If you are interested in joining our congregation, stop by the church and speak with Pastor Ashley about first steps, or email us at info@stphilipsstl.org. We also have confirmation classes for people who are interested in being confirmed in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.​
