Memorial Presbyterian Church of Marysville is governed by the Session of twelve Elders. An active Board of Deacons are key leaders in church life. Elders and Deacons are elected by the congregation at large to a three-year term.
Our pastor, the Rev. Marilyn Wullschleger, has family roots in Marshall County. She is a graduate of Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. Her lively interest in youth work is strengthened by a master's degree in secondary education and experience with a young adult daughter. Pastor Marilyn can often be found sitting down with someone somewhere, talking.
Music is an important part of worship at Memorial Presbyterian.
Minister of Music is Pat Breeding who leads the chancel choir.
Organist is Carol O'Neal who plays the historic pipe organ.
