Mercy Street Church of Christ is a new church planting in Abilene, Texas. The Mercy Street Church of Christ is a multi-racial, multi-cultural, gender-inclusive Church of Christ. We are hungry to live out the way of Jesus. People working to live by the power of the resurrection today and tomorrow. It's about people with ideas and dreams, and it's about the raw mystery that brings us together to make a church. We believe passionately in Jesus. We believe that in Jesus God reveals himself. So when we picture God we picture him hugging, smiling, crying, laughing, sometimes hurting, and nearly always one way or another sharing his dreams of how life can be on his good planet Earth. Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, we believe in a God who loves us enough to become one of us and die for us. We can, consequently, trust this God, and gradually we learn to trust the life he has given us. This makes an immense difference. We are committed, in the spirit of Jesus to stick to basics, to keep things personal and simple. We believe life is about trusting the God who comes to earth and bleeds for us and is resurrected, and identifying with that God in baptism and the Sunday Lord's Supper. On Sunday mornings we'll sing and pray and study scripture and celebrate the Lord's Supper, but we keep it simple. Our church gatherings are a place where we can feel at home. A place where the mood is upbeat and cheerful; where we can take time out from trouble; a place of hand-shakes, embraces and smiles. A place where we can unwind and express ourselves freely, and leave rejuvenated, restored and challenged. Here we come in contact with people who give us insights we would never otherwise get, who help us keep our jobs and our families and our problems in healthy perspective. We leave here (most times!) with an enhanced sense of being alive and our spirits lifted. You're invited to come and visit with us. You'll find a lot of life and vitality, and depth and emotion, and grace and humanity. No matter who you are and no matter where you've been, you are welcome to discover the way of Jesus as part of the Mercy Street Church of Christ. Mercy Street Church of Christ, Abilene, Texas. Stan and Lorrie are spearheading this new church planting. We seek your prayers and God's blessings.  |
