Q: Can I wear thongs to church?

A: Of course you can if you like them and if they are comfy. Our pastor wears thongs! Of course we are talking about “thong” shoes here…of course you understand that.

Q: Do I have to do or say anything in the service?

A: Yes. You must dance like a wild banshee when we call your name! No, no, no, just kidding! Just sit back and relax and enjoy the service.

Q: Do I have to dress up?

A: Nope! Wear whatever you want (well no speedos please!) If you want to wear a suit, then wear one, if you want to wear jeans, wear them. The pastor typically dresses casual on Sundays.

Q: Do you ever dress up for a service?

A: Yes, on Christmas and Easter you will see some suits, but other than that it’s rare.

Q: Can I bring my kids with me on Sunday morning?

A: Yes, most definitely! We are a super kid-friendly church. We have classes for infants all the way up to Junior & Senior High age kids. Each class has age appropriate material being taught to help your kids mature in their relationship with God.

Q: I am not a Christian; can I come to your church?

A: Yes, please do! Our church is the perfect place for you. We promise you’ll be surprised how much you’ll enjoy the service and find it meaningful to your life.

Q: I am a Christian; can I come to your church?

A: Yes. But please beware that if you are a Christian, really a Christian, then you are to be a part of the mission of the local church to serve others. What we mean is that as a Christian we have been commissioned by Jesus to “go into all the world…and proclaim the good news…feed the poor…take care of the widows…clothe the naked…love your neighbor as yourself…do unto others as you would have them do unto you…be doers of the word and not hearers only…give…love…forgive…and serve” and this is what we will ask you to do if you hang around here long.

Q: How long is the service on Sunday?

A: About 75 minutes.

Q: Are you Chief’s fans?

A: Yes, what else would we be living here in Kansas? (Ha!) Another cool thing about Mercy Church is that we are done on Sundays by 11:15am, so you never have to miss a kick off! Sweet huh?

Q: What is your affiliation?

A: We are affiliated with A.R.C. The Association of Related Churches which is an interdenominational organization founded on Judeo Christian Theology.

Q: Do I have to believe everything you believe to attend and or to enjoy your church?

A: No! Absolutely not! We are not a narrow-minded group. What we believe in the “Our Beliefs” section of our web site is just what we believe to be true as we understand it. Someday when we die we’ll find out just where we may have misunderstood certain specific details in the Bible. We believe we should hang our hat on what Jesus said was most important, “loving God, loving others and loving yourself.”

Q: Will I benefit by attending your church?

A: Absolutely! Within 30 days you will be a multi-millionaire. (ha) On a serious note, yes! We know that your life will be greatly effected in a positive way by attending Mercy Church.

Q: So what do I do?

A: Show up at 9:45am on Sunday morning, grab a donut and a cup of freshly brewed Starbucks Coffee and drop the kiddos off in their respective classes (if you have any), then head to the cafeteria and take a seat and sit back and relax…life is good!
