A simple wood frame church, this was one of the first churches completed and open for services in Philipsburg. Small and unassuming, this church has continued in use as an Episcopal church until today, 125 years and counting.

Given a small, low cost church, its small low cost bell tower is to be expected. It contains a relatively large bell for such a small church, though, a #32.
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church
In January 1889, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church opened its doors to hold one of the first services in a church in Philipsburg. Placed within the cornerstone the previous year were a Bible, some coins, names of donors, and a copy of the Philipsburg Mail. The one-story wood-frame building provides an excellent example of a simple pioneer church. Except for the Gothic tracery over the entrance, the building resembles schoolhouse design of the period.
