As a local church family our purpose is to be an expression of the resurrection life of Jesus Christ. The good news of Jesus, who bridged the gap between a Holy God and fallen man, is a message we take very seriously! Here at New Mercy, we welcome anyone and everyone to worship with us! We purposefully reach out to those who are in addiction of any kind and desire to recover and be free through Jesus Christ. We proclaim with boldness that Jesus forgives, saves, delivers, heals and restores the whole man!
