Making Mercy Happen
We believe that greater engagement with our local and global mission partners is an essential part of our mission to glorify and enjoy God by making disciples who make a difference through grace-filled worship, community, and missions. Last year, we focused on the importance of sharing the gospel with our words (evangelism); this year, we’re focusing on another facet: sharing the gospel through the work of our hands and feet (mercy). Because God has first shown us mercy through Christ, we therefore are inspired and empowered to live out God’s mercy in our own lives.
During our 2025 Missions Conference, visiting mission partners will share how God is moving and making mercy happen in their ministries. Be a part of this year’s conference: you’ll be equipped and inspired to live out and practice mercy ministry to those that God has placed in your life!
