MSPs backed the motion lodged at Holyrood by Midlothian North MSP Colin Beattie (SNP).
Mr Beattie attended the official opening of the revamped church on February 7.
He said: “It is fantastic to see that the work to create a modern, comfortable church in the heart of Mayfield has now been completed.
“I hope that this will be a real asset to the community and open up opportunity for people to get involved and see the future possibilities for the church.”
