St. Philip-by-the-Lake Church Anglican Church (Grimsby, Ont.) fonds. -- 1952-2011. -- 13 cm of textual records.

The church is located in the part of Grimsby known as Grimsby Beach. In late October 1951 Canon E.A. Brooks, rector of St. Andrew's, Grimsby decided that Grimsby Beach needed and could support a church of its own. A cottage was purchased and the first service was held on 4 November. Construction began shortly thereafter on a church on Park Road North. The cornerstone was laid on 1 May 1952, and the first service was held on 5 October 1952. For a more complete history see two mimeographs in Envelope 1 in the fonds.

St. Philip's was disestablished on 30 October 2011 by Bishop Michael Bird.

The fonds consists of parish registers containing statistical records and services, Vestry records, Advisory Council Minutes and correspondence, and building plans. Most of the fonds has been microfilmed on 2 reels, numbered 168, 170.
