We are a Bible-believing church that's active in the McQuesten neighbourhood

Gospel-Centered Worship

We believe that Sunday is the Lord's Day (Rev. 1:10), distinguished from the other days of the week for communal worship. We believe that worship should be informed by Scripture rather than human opinion or preference. In our worship we dialogue with God, hearing Him speak to us in the sermon, Bible reading and blessing at the end, even as we speak to him in prayer and song. Every sermon points us again to our need for Christ as he is held out to us in the Gospel.

Intentional Discipleship

Having a culture of discipleship that is both wide and deep is another key focus for us at Mercy. To that end, we provide many different discipleship opportunities for our members, starting with our small groups. Small groups generally consist of 8 or more members and meet weekly for prayer, Bible study, fellowship, and missional activities. These focused times provide opportunity for the members to grow in one's faith not simply through Bible study and prayer, but through fellowship, discipleship, accountability, and mentoring relationships. In addition to small groups, you can find various members of Mercy engaged in one-on-one discipleship, peer to peer discipleship among the church leadership, premarital and marriage counselling, and weekly prayer groups.

Promotion of the Gospel

As a missional church, we want to be actively engaged in our community and are not interested in sitting on the sidelines of what God is doing in our world. We believe that Christ desires to use us in bringing others to faith in him and that it is no mere coincidence that our church is located in the community that it is. We are eager to develop and maintain a variety of ways for us to reach out to our community. This includes drop-in times, coffee nights, moms and tots groups, activity nights, prayer walks, and other programs, all of which are usually run by members of Mercy from our office and rec centre at the Mercy Center. At the same time, we also recognize that God desires people from "every nation, tribe, and tongue" to worship Him, so we also seek to support the work of global missions in two ways: encouraging financial giving, and supporting members in serving as missionaries and mission workers in various places around the globe. We not only encourage members to serve on short-term mission trips (i.e. a couple of weeks to several months) but also encourage them to consider whether God is calling them to a life-long commitment to missions.
