Basics of becoming a member of the family
The Book of Order of the Presbyterian Church (USA) states:
One becomes an active member of the Church through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and acceptance of his Lordship in all of life. Baptism and a public profession of faith in Jesus as Lord are the visible signs of entrance into the active membership of the Church.
Persons may enter into active church membership in the following ways:
By profession of faith
By reaffirmation of faith
By transfer of membership certificate from another church
The congregation shall welcome all persons who respond in trust and obedience to God's grace in Jesus Christ and desire to become part of the membership and ministry of his Church. No persons shall be denied membership because of race, ethnic origin, worldly condition, or any other reason not related to profession of faith.
At MIPC we have an "Inquirer's" Class scheduled the First Tuesday of each month, to assist you in this process,
Tremendous Tuesdays-First Tuesday-Supper with Pastor Al
The First Tuesday Supper with Pastor Al will provide the opportunity to explore our church, the meaning of membership commitments, and the goals and vision of MIPC in greater depth. Supper @ 5:45 pm followed by a time of discussion 6:30-7:30 pm will give you the opportunity to get to know MIPC better and learn about being a member of the MIPC family.

What does it mean to be a Presbyterian?
Visitors
We extend a special welcome to you! We are glad you are seeking information about Merritt Island Presbyterian Church and hope you will visit with us in the near future.

No matter how friendly and welcoming a church is, visiting any church for the first time can be a little intimidating. Hopefully our website can answer many of your questions to help make your first visit to MIPC more relaxing and enjoyable.
