Grosse Pointe Memorial Church (GPMC) is a 1,200-member congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Started in 1865 as the Grosse Pointe Evangelical Protestant Association, our long history is a rich one. The greatest treasures we have are our members. As a Presbyterian church, we are a congregation where every member is a minister.
While GPMC is served by an outstanding staff of ministers and lay people, we are all called to do God’s work in the world, not just our pastors. In light of that commitment, the following mission and vision statement was adopted in March 2012:
Sealed by the Holy Spirit and marked as Christ’s own forever, we are called and committed to living out our love for God. Through worship, study and service, we strive to continue God’s transforming work by worshiping God joyfully, welcoming others graciously, supporting one another lovingly, and faithfully responding to our community and world with compassion.

As you glance through the pages, you will find the story of a 21st Century community of faith that has active members of all ages, loving and living faithfully as we can. From senior yoga to children’s gardening to move nights, we continue to add new programs to our vibrant congregational life. Thanks to the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, we expect that we will see even more growth in outreach for all ages, new and creative worship, and a focus on equipping disciples of all ages to share in God’s ministry in the world.
