Phillippo Baptist Church, Protestant church building in Spanish Town, Jamaica

Phillippo Baptist Church is a Protestant place of worship in central Spanish Town featuring traditional Baptist design. The structure displays white walls and tall windows that allow natural light to fill the interior spaces.

The church was founded in 1827 by Reverend James Mursell Phillippo, replacing a previous structure that plantation owners had destroyed. This new beginning allowed the community to worship openly for generations to come.

The churchyard holds memorial markers that reflect the congregation's deep connection to emancipation and freedom. Visitors can sense how meaningful this space remains for people in the community today.

The building underwent complete renovation in 2009 following storm damage and is now in good condition for visitors. Its central location in Spanish Town makes it easy to reach and explore.

Reverend Phillippo gave fifty years of his life to this congregation and is buried in the churchyard. His grave and those of his family members bear memorial tablets that visitors can still see today.
