Mission and Vision

Grosse Pointe Memorial Church (GPMC) is a 1,100-member congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Started in 1865 as the Grosse Pointe Evangelical Protestant Association, our long history as a light by the lakeshore 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. 

Our mission and vision statement is: 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 navigate the pages of the website, you will find the story of a 21st-century community of faith that has active members of all ages, living and living as faithfully as we can. From senior yoga to parent groups to youth mission trips, 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.
