St. Philips Moravian Church is the oldest surviving African American church building in North Carolina.[2] The Moravian church was built in 1861 on the east side of South Church Street, near Race Street, in Old Salem, North Carolina. St. Philips was enlarged in 1890 and remained in continuous use until 1952. In 2004 it was restored by Old Salem Museums & Gardens for use as an interpreted building. [3] Currently only worship services are held at the church weekly.[4]
