Our beautiful 200-year-old building with embellishments added outside and inside in 1866 by renown Bath, Maine & New England architect, Francis H. Fassett, requires costly structural maintenance.

Thanks to fundraising via GiveButter.com and other efforts, we raised enough money for painting the front and one side of the building; and in the summer of 2025 work began to divert water away from the building. The Church sits within the Historic Village of Wiscasset, so its appearance outside is very important to our neighbors--the rest of the building needs painting and landscaping updates. Moisture beneath the Sanctuary and within our thrift store continue to be serious problems. Timbers have been weakened and store walls have suffered from mildew. While money taken in from the thrift store helps pay the church's bills, our modest prices are not enough to pay for basement remediation and air filtration.

St. Philip’s is small in size but its impact is BIG. Several church members along with another 35-40 community volunteers provide food for over 70 families across Lincoln County… every week. (In FY25, 3,477 households received food from Help Yourself Shelf--our pantry.) And that’s not all. The St. Philip’s Bargain Basement provides everything from school clothing and winter coats to beds, chairs, and household necessities—all donated items sold at low cost. St. Philip’s is also a weekly meeting place for the largest AA community in the county. We remain always open.

Our wonderful church needs everyone to pitch in! Help us to “Restore the historic church—support the heroic mission.”
