Philip House: A charismatic evangelical Christian organization for the ministry of women

Acts 21:8-9 states that Paul and his companions "stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist . . .. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied." (NIV)

Philip House is a ministry that seeks to mobilize Christian women of any marital status to be available to the Lord for the proclamation of His word in various ways. It is based in the Brisbane area of Queensland, Australia.

Philip House favours working through ministry teams and also through opportunities for individual ministry. It is trans-denominational, evangelistic, flexible, and available to travel.

We would like to see women offering themselves for the Lord’s work in Philip House. If you have gifts such as prophecy, evangelism, Bible teaching, or exhortation, and feel you could contribute in some way, we would be glad to hear from you.

The Vision of Philip House

The vision of Philip House has been gradually revealed to the founder, Alison Sherrington, over a considerable period. One of the key experiences along the way was the special illumination of Acts 21:8-9: “. . . we [Paul and his companions] reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.” (NIV)

Originally the vision was for four single women residing and ministering together, but recently the Lord has expanded the vision so that married as well as single women now have the opportunity to use the gifts God has given them for His glory and the extension of His kingdom. Single dedicated women would still have the option of joining a small residential community for that purpose.

Alison Sherrington has degrees in Arts and Theology and experience in secondary school teaching, Bible Society editorial work, hospital chaplaincy, parish pastoral work, and Bible teaching, including conducting seminars in churches. Her book Word and Spirit has been widely read and well received within the Body of Christ, and she has since written another, True Womanhood.
