The discipleship pathway is the road we call everyone to journey on together as a means of pursuing maturity in Christ. We believe that as we immerse ourselves in these various community rhythms, over time they help form Christ-likeness in us. Below is a brief description of each one.
WORSHIP
All of life is worship. We believe that every human being was made to worship God, however, because of sin each one of us has turned aside and worshiped others things. The bible calls this idolatry. All those who have been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone are called to a new life of continual worship as Romans 12:1 says, “I appeal to you therefore brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” In everything we do at Mercy Hill we aim for worship that please our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because of the mercy He has shown us. We worship Him together by gathering on Sunday mornings to sing Him.One of the ways we praise and hear His word proclaimed, reminding us of His goodness. Below you will find our service times and locations as well regularly scheduled prayer times. We hope you join us in worshiping together.

LEARN
Disciple means learner. We believe that Jesus is always teaching us as His disciples by His Spirit, through His word and through His people. One of the practical ways we do this at Mercy Hill is through what we call our E2 courses. E2 stands for ‘equipped and empowered.’ These are 8 to 12 weeks classes that are held at various times throughout the year and focus on different biblical and theological topics like: doctrine 101, to how to study your bible, to rightly understanding law and gospel. All of them are designed to help you grow in maturity and Christ-likeness while equipping you to ultimately be a disciple making disciple. Below you will find a list of the upcoming E2 courses along with dates and times.

CONNECT
Every person was made for connection with God and people. While we understand that God has made us all different regarding our tendency towards being extroverted or introverted, we also believe that no one is made to do life alone. Therefore we invite everyone who calls Mercy Hill home to get plugged into a group of some sort, where you can get to know and be known by God’s people. Our groups fall into 2 general categories. Small churches are groups that gather in homes at various times during the week and are made up of both men, women and children who get together to study God’s word and encourage one another. A Discipleship group is a smaller group of usually only 3 to 6 people of the same gender who meet at various times throughout the week usually at coffee shops, homes and other spaces to also open God’s word and encourage one another. Anyone is welcome to be involved in both, but we have found that is not always possible for everyone in every season.

SERVE
Jesus said, “Whoever would be great among you, must be your servant… for even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve…” (Mark 10:43,45). As we have continued to grow in number as a local church, the more opportunities there are to serve in various ways. We are saved only by grace, but we are saved to service in His kingdom. A large part of personal growth happens through sacrificial service. Your gifts will become clear as you jump in and serve as Jesus commands us.

MULTIPLY
Disciples make disciples. One of the marks that distinguishes discipleship from simply being a consumer is intentional multiplication. Our aim is that every partner at Mercy Hill would ultimately be involved in leading others towards being disciples who continually worships Jesus. We want people to take ownership of the mission and lead well to the glory of God. We also have various short term missions opportunities that we want all partners at Mercy Hill to prayerfully participate in.
