Welcome to
The Trees
Given to St. Philip’s Episcopal Church as a gift,
this sacred home and land are open for
community gathering, contemplation and rest.
The Trees is a 50-acre wooded property with a beautiful mid-century modern home nestled amidst the rolling hills just outside Durham, NC. Available for day use, The Trees is a community resource for groups and organizations seeking to build community, experience contemplation, and connect to creation.
