Learn More about Membership

If you have not already become a member of Park Street Church, we encourage you to consider doing so, especially if you already consider Park Street to be your church home.

As a congregational church, Park Street relies upon its membership, who own the building and make all its decisions. This happens every February during our Annual Meeting, to which all are welcome to attend.

We run our membership classes as seven-week small groups. This gives you the opportunity to get to know fellow new members, as well as the minister who teaches the class. The next set of classes will be announced soon!
