St. Philip the Evangelist Anglican Church
Charlotte, North Carolina
St. Philip the Evangelist Anglican Church began holding public services in Charlotte in September of 2008. After merely a month our initial meeting space proved to be too small, and after a year we outgrew our second home. Services of Holy Communion are now held in our chapel at 2908 Oakwood Drive in Charlotte.
We believe the Holy Scriptures to be God’s word. We confess the three ancient creeds of the Church: Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian. We believe in the real spiritual power of the Sacraments, and in the power of God to heal the sick and broken-hearted. We also believe in the necessity of inward spiritual development and the outward amendment of life of every Christian. As traditional Anglicans we worship God using the ancient liturgical forms contained in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.

"What can be supposed wanting in our Church in order to salvation? We have the Word of God, the Faith of the Apostles, the Creeds of the Primitive Church, the Articles of the four first General Councils, a holy liturgy, excellent prayers, perfect sacraments, faith and repentance, the Ten Commandments, and the sermons of Christ, and all the precepts and counsels of the Gospels. We … require and strictly exact the severity of a holy life. … We communicate often, our priests absolve the penitent. Our Bishops ordain priests, and confirm baptised persons, and bless their people and intercede for them. And what could here, be wanting to salvation?”
