In 1859, about a dozen families gathered and organized a religious body under the name St. Philip's Episcopal Church. On Dec. 11, 1874,the corner stone for the church was laid. However, in 1903, the church moved to its current location. After a fire in 1982, the church was rebuilt in 1983. The baptismal font, as well as a few other religious relics, were saved and still used today. The same company that installed the original stained glass windows replaced them after being lost in the fire. 106 E. Crawford St.

Organized in 1849, the Gothic Revival church building is the oldest church in Palestine. On March 7, 1887, the church bought a lot on Avenue A, and the cornerstone for the sanctuary was laid on July 12, 1888. The bricks were made from clay excavated from a pit that later became Spring Park Lake. The sanctuary is of Gothic design and contains leaded stained glass and Tiffany memorial windows. The ceiling was hand painted by an itinerant German craftsman, and has not been retouched since it was originally painted. The silver spire was added in 1890.The church was added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
