Meet Memorial Park Church

Here at Memorial Park Church (MPC), we strive to live out our mission statement in all that we do. We want to Love People by showing them that they are known and cared for as they are. We want to Know Jesus by learning Biblical Truth through studying God’s Word. We want to Live Transformed by letting our lives be a reflection of God’s Glory so others may see Him through us and want to know Him.

MPC has a Pre-School with 20 employees, and the church is nearing the completion of an exciting $3 million sanctuary renovation, with plans to return to worship in the newly restored space this December. The sanctuary is not only visually stunning but also equipped with state-of-the-art equipment designed to support and enrich the church’s vibrant music ministry. More than just a renovation, this project reflects MPC’s deep commitment to excellence and its heartfelt desire to provide a sacred and reverent space where God’s people can gather in worship.

Led by Pastor Chris Eatough, MPC is a warm and welcoming church, filled with people who delight in worship and are intentional about caring for their staff while honoring God through the worship experience.
