ST. PHILIP\'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH of Grand Rapids

| | | Episcopal

The Episcopal Church is a liturgical church, meaning that the service is structured by readings from scripture that coincide with “seasons” of the church year. St. Philip’s is a “formally informal” parish, meaning that we follow Episcopal traditions, but not in a “high church” format. By actively participating in the liturgy, hymns, and other traditions of our church, we find spiritual life as a body of Christ. Each week we use a printed bulletin that incorporates readings from the Holy Bible, the liturgy from the Book of Common Prayer, and hymns from the 1982 Episcopal Hymnal and the Lift Every Voice and Sing African American hymnal to celebrate the good news of Jesus Christ.
