Our Story
Mercy Hill began as a church plant in Highland, Indiana in 2009 from Living Word Church in Lansing, IL. Our roots go deep in that we are connected to a family of churches worldwide known as, "Lifelink: Churches working together". Since Mercy Hill's plant in 2009 we have moved into a permanent location in Munster, IN. God's grace and blessing has been with us throughout the years and we rejoice in this and for what the future holds.
our Focus
Worship Christ
Jesus is central and supreme. No lesser person, belief or thing deserves our highest passion. As followers of Jesus we strive to honor and make much of Him in every area of our lives. Worshipping Christ is the center of our lives. First and foremost, being part of our family means loving and worshipping Christ as our greatest treasure.
Live in Community
Living in community is the biblical model we see throughout Scripture, from the Trinity to the New Testament Church. God made us to live life together. Community is both one of the greatest tools God uses to make us more like Christ and one of the most effective ways to live out our mission together as the family of God.
Make Disciples
The word “disciple” literally means “learner.” Jesus actually commanded his followers in Matthew 28:18-20 to “go therefore, and make disciples of all nations…” All of us are meant to live on mission personally and corporately, locally and globally, for the sake of Christ’s name. Every disciple is meant to be a disciple-maker. Ultimately, Jesus deserves all worship from everyone on earth, and until this becomes a reality our work is incomplete. To that end, we all make disciples locally while strategically working together to see disciples made among all nations.
Get Trained
Regardless of how long we’ve been following Christ, each and every one of us must always be seeking to continuing growing in knowledge of Christ and obedience to Christ. Every believer is called to be a minister of the gospel, regardless of our location or vocation. In light of this, we pursue ongoing discipleship and training for ministry so that we can be fruitful and effective for the good of the world and the glory of God.
Our leadership
Mercy Hill is led not by an individual but by a team of leaders who together make decisions and use their gifts to care for members of our church family and lead us in our mission. The teamwork approach to leadership is modeled through all the various ministries and activities of Mercy Hill, with a team of elders carrying overall responsibility for overseeing the affairs of the church.
