Perhaps the best way to explain our vision is to explain why we exist: and that is to bring the love of Jesus Christ to the people of South Tottenham. Our vision is as simple, and yet as challenging as that! Everything we do is because we believe that God knows us personally and loves us beyond all telling. No matter who we are or what we have done, or whether we have this nagging feeling deep down that we are simply not good enough, God loves us and wants us to live life to the fullest, which ultimately is a to live our lives in Christ, or to put it more simply, we live a life that is not dictated by human urges and fleeting desires but rather we live a life which is Christ-like, and as close to the perfect human being that God created each one of us to be.

Here at St Philip's, we express this vision primarily by focusing on the value of the person. You mean everything to God and therefore you deserve to have the very best we can offer. This is what we mean when we pray "thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven." We do this by offering a place of beauty, which is itself a glimpse of heaven. Our Church building, and our worship is the very best that we can offer. We may not be a major cathedral dripping in gold, but our offering is beautiful and best. Likewise whether you are a Christian or not we offer this space for you all; as a place of beauty and rest and as a place where we hope and pray that you may feel God's presence in your life thought Jesus Christ our Lord.
