Mercy Church Podcast

Planted in 2015 out of the Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham NC, our core team of 60 people uprooted their lives to bring the gospel message to the city of Charlotte. We are one church with multiple campuses. Our mission is to make disciples who love God, love each other, and love our world, and we aim to see a gospel awakening in the city of Charlotte that is carried to the ends of the earth! We'd love for you to join us! Visit mercycharlotte.com to learn more about us and how you can get involved!
