How do I become a member?
If
you have visited Mechanicsburg Presbyterian Church and feel at home
here, we encourage you to become a member. Some of our members are new
believers and some are life-long Presbyterians. Many come from other
protestant denominations and from other faiths. All are brought
together in Christ through fellowship, study, and service.
Membership
at MPC begins with attending the “Inquirers’ Classes”. The purpose of
these classes is to help people deepen their understanding of what it
means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and how following Jesus is
expressed through membership in the Presbyterian Church.
