Do I need to become a member to participate in activities at
Memorial Park Church ?
No, you do not need to be a member to attend worship, to volunteer, to participate in growth and fellowship opportunities, or to receive pastoral care. The only restrictions on non-members are that they may not vote in congregational meetings or be elected as officers (elders and deacons) of the church.
How do I become a member?
Membership classes are held three times per year, on two consecutive Sunday evenings. They have traditionally been offered in January (shortly after the Christmas and New Year holidays), in April (shortly after Easter), and in September (shortly after Labor Day). The classes are taught by the pastoral staff, and are designed to answer your questions about the church. Attending the classes does not obligate you to join the church. If you would like information on the next Membership Class, you can call the church office or email
Membership Director Cheryl Smith at cheryl@memorialparkchurch.org.
Is child care available for church events?
Professionally trained adults operate our nursery (for newborns through age 2) for the worship service on Saturday evening and the services at 9:15 and 11:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. Nursery service is also provided for many other activities—check the church bulletin or call the office to inquire if nursery care is available for a specific event.
How do I schedule a wedding at Memorial Park Church?
Call the church office and express your interest in scheduling a wedding. A staff member will review the available dates and times on the church calendar and will send you a booklet regarding wedding policies.
NOTE: It is church policy that all weddings in our Sanctuary be performed by one of the church’s pastors, or by another minister approved by a church pastor.
How do I schedule my child’s baptism?
In order for a child to be baptized at Memorial Park Church , at least one of the parents must be a member of the church. Call the church office and express your interest in scheduling an infant baptism. A staff member will review the available dates and times on the church calendar, and will arrange for an appointment with one of the pastors. Ordinarily the church schedules only one family for infant baptism at any service.
How can I share a prayer concern for the church’s “prayer chain”?
Memorial Park has many dedicated Christians who are willing to pray for any needs submitted to the church office. If you have a request for yourself or someone you love, call the church office or email the webmaster requesting that a need be forwarded to the prayer chain.
How do I request a pastoral visit?
You can call the church office or email the webmaster with your request. A member of the pastoral staff will be in touch with you.
Will someone visit me if I am admitted to the hospital?
Local hospitals ordinarily do not contact churches when their members are admitted. We ask you to please contact the church directly to let us know, so that we may pray for you and so that the pastoral staff and parish nurses may visit you.
Are Christian counseling services available?
