Menlo Park Presbyterian Church Country United States Denomination Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Website www.mppc.org Clergy Senior pastor(s) John Ortberg Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, or MPPC, is an evangelical church in Menlo Park, California. The church was officially organized November 30, 1873. Its congregation had over 4,500 members in 2007.[1] It was listed as the 17th Most Influential Church in America according to a 2007 survey.[2]
The original site was donated less than a year after the church was founded, and MPPC met for 76 years at 700 Santa Cruz Avenue and Chestnut, until the church built its current facility at the current location of 950 Santa Cruz Avenue in 1950.[3] The Open Doors campaign led to the openings of two new campuses: the North Campus in San Mateo and the South Campus in Mountain View, in 2007 and 2008. The church also holds two Sunday services at the site of its original location, 700 Santa Cruz Avenue, behind Ace Hardware store.
MPPC is led by Senior Pastor John Ortberg, widely-known Evangelical author and speaker, as well as Directional Leader Alan T. Baker.
