Grosse Pointe Memorial Church is committed to a ministry of music that is rich in variety, grounded in spiritual integrity and inclusive of all ages within the community of faith.
To this end, GPMC supports a dynamic music ministry that strives for excellence while incorporating a stimulating music learning experience through a variety of programs for children, youth, and adults. Exposure to the expressions of music and drama is incorporated into the worship life of the congregation through Sunday services and a variety of special services throughout the year.
GPMC hosts an active concert series, Music at Memorial. For more information about this year’s series, click HERE.
