Merritt Island Presbyterian Church
Inspirational, Relational, Musical & Family Friendly, Missional Minded.
About Us
Merritt Island Presbyterian welcomes all who desire a close spiritual community experience. As followers of Jesus Christ we gather together to study scriptures through Sunday morning worship celebrating two expressions in our 8:45 praise and our 11 am traditional worship. Along with inspirational worship we offer educational opportunities for all ages and fellowship galore. The church's child care center opens at 7am - 6pm during the week for infants through 4 year olds. Our kids klub for K-6th grade runs Tuesdays during the school year from 3-5:30 with biblical teachings through plays, music, recreation, snacks and crafts. Following the children's activities our Tremendous Tuesday supplies gourmet suppers for all in the family. Music plays a major role with 3 handbell choirs, a praise band and a classically trained sanctuary choir. Fellowship and missions highlight our service.
