As a beautiful church carved out of a lovely wood in the international district of the Hague , St John and St Philip has been home to life events of all kinds. Whether the reason is joyous or sombre, our clergy and staff will do our best to make you feel at ease at every stage.
BAPTISMS
Are you a parent looking to have your child baptised, or someone who would like to take this momentous step? At St John and St Philip, we offer services of welcome and initiation for people of all ages. If you are interested in baptism, whether for an infant, an older child or an adult, please do contact us – we would be delighted to explore how we can help.

WEDDINGS
Many people, whether or not they are regular churchgoers, wish to place the joy of marriage in a wider, God-centred context. We are always delighted when people approach us about a church wedding. We will do all we can to make the event as personal and special as possible, and to bring the deeper spiritual significance of marriage to the surface.

FUNERALS
Times of loss often give rise to feelings of shock and confusion, as well as sadness and grief. Bereavements for people living overseas can be particularly complex.
The Chaplain at The Hague has years of experience of working with bereaved people in very many different circumstances. We are happy assist with funerals that take place either here, or at another church.
