St. Philip's is a modern building erected in 1966 but significantly reordered since then. Replacement of pews by chairs has led to greatly improved flexibility in worship and other uses of the space and facilities. The style of worship is towards the evangelical, following the Common Worship pattern, and includes an occasional Wholeness and Healing service in place of Morning Worship. Otherwise, there is an alternating Morning Prayer/Eucharist on Sunday morning. There is a Junior Church, or Sunday Club, at the main service. Other groups include the Mothers' Union, Pathfinders, Pastoral Visitors and a number of house groups.
The new priest in charge of the parish, the Revd. Andrew Nicholson, has recently been installed and also has responsibility for the neighbouring parish of Thorner where he resides. At present our parish also has four readers and one retired priest.
