Why Covenant Membership?
We view covenant membership as an essential element of taking that “next step” into service and mutual accountability at Mercy Church. Membership in no way saves you or makes you more accepted by God. It is simply a way to step into another level of growth through serving the church body and biblical community within the body of believers.
If you are interested in learning more about the covenant membership process, we would be happy to help answer your questions.
