St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church, Spanish Colonial Revival church in Tucson, Arizona, United States

St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church is a house of worship in Tucson built with thick adobe walls, stained glass windows, and wooden beams in Spanish Colonial Revival style. The building displays heavy masonry construction with arched openings and hand-crafted interior details throughout its spaces.

The building was designed by architect Josias Thomas Joesler and opened for worship on Christmas Eve 1936 in the Catalina Foothills Estates. The design drew from local architectural language and created a new religious space in this area.

The first rector was Fr. George Ferguson, and the parish grew from a private chapel project funded by John and Helen Murphey. Sunday attendance averaged 404 in 2024, with reported plate and pledge income of $1,689,063. The congregation counted 1,826 members in 2020 and 1,232 in 2023.

St. Philip's in the Hills stands at 4440 N. Campbell Avenue, at the corner with River Road, north of central Tucson. The church is an active Episcopal parish; its 2024 parochial report listed average Sunday attendance of 404. Visitors should check service times before coming, since the building is in use for worship.

John and Helen Murphey asked Josias Joesler to build them a private chapel at their home; he persuaded them instead to fund a church at Campbell Avenue and River Road, then undeveloped land. The first rector was Fr. George Ferguson. The parish reported 1,826 members in 2020 and 1,232 in 2023.
