What does it mean to be a partner at Mercyview?
How do I find out bout what Mercyview Believes?
It means formally committing yourself to this particular local church – to function, participate, and minister in a particular place within the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:31; Ephesians 4:12) by joining in its mission and placing yourself under the care, accountability, discipline, and direction of its leaders. Becoming a “partner” at Mercyview is what many churches call “membership.” We believe the term “partner” more accurately reflects the mutual dependency and accountability we have towards one another in the life of the church.
First, you will want to visit the Our Confession page of our website. It outlines both the “center” and the “boundaries” of our confession. As you consider partnership with us here at Mercyview, you may want to know more specifically what we believe is God’s heart for the local church and how our mission, values, and philosophy for ministry flow from that. To that end, we would encourage you to listen to a sermon series from 2012 entitled “The Church: Gathered//Scattered” that we believe outlines a biblical definition of the local church here.
