St. Philip's Episcopal Church
Erected between 1887 and 1894
NC Hwy 8 and Hwy 65
Germanton, NC
 The National Register of Historical Places

The church is located in Germanton near the Stokes Forsyth County at the intersection of Highways 65 and 8.  It's set back on its lot and separated from its surroundings by an ironwork fence.  St. Philips is a well preserved representative of the small Gothic Revival board-and batten churches influenced by Richard Upjohn built across America during the Mid-to-late 19th Century.  The unpainted interior of St. Philips carries out both the simplicity and the Gothic Revival character of the exterior.  St. Philips has never been electrified.  The congregation has always been small, and for most of its existence, the church has has the status of an unorganized mission.  The largest number of communicants, 22, was reported in 1895.  Two Eucharistic services are held each year; Thanksgiving Day, 11:00 a.m. (Dress warm and bring a blanket); 1st Sunday in May at 4:00 with a picnic on the lawn (bring a dish).  Services are held by lamplight, and a woodstove remains to heat the building.
