New Mercy Community Church

To some, our vision may sound a bit negative or depressing at first. But we see it as a truly hopeful message, and Jesus reveals why in Matthew 9. “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” The Bible reveals one irreducible fact: God is for broken people. It’s found all throughout the Bible. Passage after passage reveals a God who embraces the broken-hearted, the marginalized, the oppressed, the sick and the sinners. We at New Mercy Community Church believe God has called us to place this foundational truth at the center of our vision. And although this vision sounds simple, it is both a profound and dynamic undertaking that requires a nuanced understanding of the gospel as well as careful application of the gospel’s implications.

We know it will take time to build a culture like this. This is why it is our vision. And brokenness comes in all different forms (e.g. poverty, pride, anger, sickness, etc.). Our vision is to help people see there is real brokenness in everyone and that there is only One who can rescue them.

Our vision encompasses the fact that we are a church made of broken people, a church that seeks to grow broken people, and a church that welcomes and serves other broken people radically. We pray that God's mercy will be revealed through New Mercy to all who are broken at the dawn of each new day.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." - Lamentations 3:22-23
