About
Mercy Seat’s Mission is…
to plant and grow a self-supporting urban church that responds to God’s grace
Listen to an audio introduction to the church:
- by doing better theology–always seeking to point, not to us, but to the radical, subversive grace of God in Christ,
- by offering up our “third option” for music and worship: setting the ancient liturgy of the church to contemporary compositions of all genres,
- by cultivating a spirit of play, in children and grownups alike,
- by thinking critically about church and culture and working for peace and justice,
- by incubating artistic expression be it self-consciously Christian or not,
- by treating each other with respect, kindness, and care; behaving as if God’s grace is already sweeping us away.
