OUR PURPOSE


 

Mercy Crossing's purpose is to reach people with the life-giving message of Jesus that they might become fully devoted followers of Christ.

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe…” Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. -Mark 16:15-17,20 NIV

Core Values

Know God in our Worship Services

To create a vibrant Weekend Worship Experience for you to know with God and express your love toward Him in worship. Our goal is to see people become fully devoted followers of Christ, be baptized and partner with us to fulfill the Great Commission.

Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” -Matthew 22:36-40 NIV

Find Freedom in a Life Group

Life Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us in freedom. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Life Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.

The early church connected in very natural, organic ways: “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts” -Acts 2:46 NIV

Discover your Purpose in The Growth Track

God has an incredible purpose for your life, and the Mercy Crossing Growth Track is designed to help you connect with that purpose. On the Growth Track, you will spend four Sundays diving into what it looks like to follow Jesus, connect to the church, discover your purpose and then make a difference with your life.

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. -1 Corinthians 12:27-28 NIV

Make a Difference on a Dream Team

Serving enables us to use our gifts in the body of Christ and in the world so we can become all God has created us to be. The Dream Team is a group of incredible people who have discovered their gifts and passions and are actively serving in them. From creating a comfortable environment by serving on a First Impression Team, to leading the next generation to Jesus by serving on a Kid/Student Ministries Team, to crafting a dynamic experience with the Production Team, to tearing down barriers across our city by leading a Life Group or participating on the Campus Support Team—we are a group that forcefully advances the Kingdom of God.

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” -Eph. 2:10 NIV
