WORSHIP LIFE AT MIPC
The heart of our life as a faith community is worship. It is the expression of our praise and thanksgiving to God, the affirmation of our faith in Jesus Christ and the celebration of God’s Spirit in our midst.
At Mercer Island Presbyterian Church, worship is designed to draw us into a deeper awareness of God’s presence and God’s desire to change and challenge our lives.

Sundays at MIPC7:30 am - Breakfast in the Fellowship Hall
A delicious continental buffet breakfast is available starting at 7:30 am.

Suggested donation for breakfast is approximately $4/adults and $3/children, depending upon your selections.
8:15 am - Breakfast Worship Service in the Fellowship HallWhile the sermon and scriptures are the same for all services, the breakfast service is more relaxed and family / child friendly. We worship while seated around tables (supplied with crayons and paper for kids) after a great time of fellowship and breakfast. The 8.15am Music Team leads us in praise music and hymns. Children 4 years old through 2nd grade are invited to leave mid-service to the Children’s Worship Center, where they will hear a story based on the day’s scripture passage and/or lectionary. Children 3 years and younger are welcome in our Nursery Care Center.
9:15am - Christian Education (Sunday School)
Classes are offered for all ages. Please see Adult Ministries, Student Ministries, Childrens' Ministries or the Calendar for details on class offerings and locations.
10:35 am - Traditional Worship Service in the SanctuaryThis service reflects our rich heritage in reformed worship. The liturgies are written each week by our Worship Pastor, and are fresh and relevant to our daily lives. We experience sacred music of all styles, periods and cultures. Handbells enhance worship regularly and our newly installed pipe organ lends a mighty support for congregational singing. The Chancel Choir leads us in singing hymns and presenting great choral anthems. Children 4 years through 2nd grade are invited to leave mid-service to the Children’s Worship Center, where they will hear a story based on the day’s scripture passage and/or lectionary. Children 3 years and younger are welcome in our Nursery Care Center. Families may also choose to sit in our soundproof “Family Room” adjacent to the Sanctuary. Headsets are available at this service for the hearing impaired and large print hymnals are also available.
5pm - Evening Worship Service in the SanctuaryThis service is led musically by the 5pm musicians and features contemporary Christian music and hymns with a variety of instruments and styles (About 5pm Music). This service has much of the same content as the morning, yet is more informal. Children 4 years through 2nd grade are invited to leave mid-service to the Children’s Worship Center, where they will hear a story based on the day’s scripture passage and/or lectionary. Children 3 years and younger are welcome in our Nursery Care Center. Families may also choose to sit in our soundproof “Family Room” adjacent to the Sanctuary.
