Phillippo Baptist Church, Protestant church building in Spanish Town, Jamaica
The Phillippo Baptist Church stands with traditional Baptist architecture features, including white walls and large windows, in central Spanish Town.
Founded in 1827 by Reverend James Mursell Phillippo, this church replaced an earlier structure that plantation owners had destroyed for preaching to enslaved people.
A commemorative stone slab in the church grounds marks the burial site of slavery shackles, representing the congregation's connection to emancipation history.
The church underwent a complete renovation in 2009 following Hurricane Dean damage, with restorations costing twenty-five million Jamaican dollars.
Reverend Phillippo, who devoted fifty years to this congregation, rests in the churchyard alongside his family members beneath memorial tablets.
