Saint Philip’s commissions are designed to be lively hubs of activity and ministry that harness the gifts of our lay leaders. Staff and clergy serve as liaisons for each commission, and a Vestry members serves on each commission, as well. This ensures there is dialogue and shared direction between the different parts of parish and programmatic leadership.

The commissions were begun in a staggered fashion to ensure they could receive the necessary support.
