About St. Phillips Episcopal
St. Phillips Episcopal Church was founded in 1871 by families who had relocated to Hearne from Matagorda, on land donated by the New York and Texas Land Company. It was named for the Reverend J. W. Philips, who preached its first sermon. The congregation worshiped in a wooden building until completing its present Gothic Revival church in 1912.
