St. Philip's in the Hills

This beautiful old mission-style Episcopal Church is a place of quiet contemplation for visitors who seek shade for their spirits. Wrought-iron gates fashioned with simple crosses open to corridors leading pedestrians to a Meditation Room, a small gift shop, a series of classrooms and enclosed vegetated courtyards, one with a brick lily pond at its heart. The church and scenic grounds are open to the public weekdays until sunset. Services are observed on Saturdays and Sundays. With doors that are often open, and a series of community programs, this picturesque sanctuary shares its message with those who seek a brief reprieve from the busy world outside.
