Organizational History:

The Mount Pleasant Community Church of Mount Pleasant, Michigan (MPCC) began as a non-denominational group seeking a church with an evangelical outlook and a Biblical foundation in the summer of 1980. In 1981, the church joined the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). in September 1985 the congregation’s newly built church at 1400 W. Broomfield Street was dedicated. Prior to this the congregation met at various times in the former Central Michigan University chapel, now Art Gallery, and the Plachta Auditorium and in Mount Pleasant High School. An addition was added to the building in June 2001. In 2022 the church expanded its mission by adding a campus in Alma, Michigan. (This information is from the collection.)
