OUR STORY
Mercy Crossing began as a small church in the early 1940s.
It wasn’t large or well known.
But it was faithful.
In 1944, the church moved to Lavinder Street, joined the Church of God, and began to grow. As people found hope and community, the need for more space followed. Once again, God made a way.
In 1972, the church purchased land on Clearview Drive, including a home that served as a parsonage. A new season began. Over the years, buildings were added, ministries expanded, and Mercy Crossing became known as a place where people could experience the love of Jesus in real and tangible ways.
By the late 1990s, the vision had outgrown the walls again. In 1999, more than 100 acres became available—an opportunity that didn’t seem possible, but God opened the door. Under the leadership of Pastor Jackie Poe, construction began, and on June 5, 2005, Mercy Crossing moved into its current facility.
That building became more than a space. It became a launching point. New ministries were created. Lives were changed. And people from every background found a place to belong. That moment was not the finish line; it was another beginning.
Today, we stand at the edge of what God is doing next. The opportunities ahead are bigger than any one person, but together, we are ready to step forward in faith.
And you are part of this story.
So we keep building.
We keep reaching.
We keep creating space for people to experience the mercy and grace found in Jesus.
Because one thing has remained true through every season:
When we step out in faith, God always meets us there.
