Philippus United Church of Christ
- Philippus United Church of Christ
Philippus United Church of Christ is located on the northwest corner of West Mcmicken and Ohio Avenues, in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The church is a landmark because of a gilded hand, with its index finger pointing to the heavens, on its tall steeple. The church is an outgrowth of the now defunct St. Matthew Evangelical Church at Elm and Liberty Streets. Philippus Church is a red-brick church completed in 1891. The church features Gothic Revival-style details. Recessed pointed-arch windows flank the gabled pointed-arch entrance and projecting tower with its rose window.

For many years "Phillippus Kirche" ministered to Cincinnati's German immigrants and their families under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Pister. All services were conducted in German until 1921. Following the union of the Evangelical and Reformed Church in 1933, "Philippus Kirche" assumed the name Philippus Evangelical and Reformed Church. Since 1957 the church has been known as Philippus United Church of Christ and has an active membership. The Rev. Dr. Winfield Strout is the current interim pastor of Philippus United Church of Christ. The Shepherd of Membership/Business Manager is Mr.Joseph Gutzwiller.
