Mercy Church has helped me develop a very real and exciting walk with God. I noticed several comments on here criticizing the Church and the college ministry, I felt compelled to post my experience. I have been attending Mercy for several years. What drew me to continue going here was the true, genuine love for Jesus and people the leadership has never failed to display. Prior to this I had never had a daily devotional life or a very real and alive daily relationship with God. This is the main impact my life has seen while attending. God has used this church and its leaders in such a way that I could be personally impacted in my walk. \r

The negative comments below are somewhat bothersome to read. The Church has a big vision to win the world for Jesus (is this not biblically based, directly from the bible? ) They also believe in building disciples for Christ (again, Jesus did this and called us to.The Great Commission, Matthew 28:16-20). Christians sometimes seem to want to bash other ministries that are bringing the gospel to others because they present it differently (many denominations people). Why is this? If Christians can't be united as a whole and as an example to others, who can? \r

This church has been the biggest encouragement in my life in loving family first, and friends. This does not mean pressing Jesus onto them if they are not believers. The model is based on Jesus: show them what love is, and why Jesus has done this for you- let God show up in their life. \r

Sorry for the long post. I love this church.
