St Philips history is all about HIS…story
God has been writing His stories since the beginning of time.
St Philips story will be 100 years old in 2011.
A keen Christian lady from St Luke’s church in Mosman Park had a vision that Christians should have a place to worship God in Cottesloe.
She started meeting with others to pray in 1907, near where St Philips is now. This was followed by a Sunday School as a branch of St Luke’s, then a church service conducted by a visiting priest. These, we think, were held in an old hall on this site which was the original Indiana Tea House.

In 1911 the first church called St Philips was built and consecrated. The church in the photo above is the third church building on this site. The current building, which was renovated and expanded in the late 1990s, is a Julian Elischer design from the early 1960s.
