Organization

We are a congregation of real live people who face real live problems with hope and joy because of the powerful presence of Jesus Christ whose loving Spirit we encounter each day. We have been drawn together into a caring family, and out of gratitude for all that Christ is doing for us, we seek to serve others.

Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church was founded on two basic principles that we still hold dear today.

First, our house shall be called a house of prayer. (Matthew 21:13) Prayer guides our major policy decisions as well as our everyday lives. Our Partners in Prayer commit to fulfilling our goal that every member be prayed for every day.

Second, in obedience to Christ's teaching, we are committed to a Dollar-for-Dollar benevolence program. Since our beginning in 1954 and continuing to the present, we annually set a goal of matching the money spent in the operation of the church and its programs with giving to those in need in the community and the world.
