Back to School

Start the School Year with Purpose
Back to School Weekend isn’t just about new routines and packed lunches. It’s about resetting your focus and remembering what matters most. At Mercy Hill, we believe every person was made to know God and live on mission. And that includes your whole family.
Discover Ways to Connect and Grow This Fall
Whether you’re a parent, student, or college freshman starting a new chapter, we want you to know: you were made for more—more than stress, more than comparison, more than just getting through the year. Join us on August 21st or 24th during our weekend services, or at one of our age-based ministries’ events to get connected at Mercy Hill this fall!

Don’t Just Attend—Serve
When you serve, you step into God’s bigger story. Whether it’s holding a door or holding a baby, every role helps people take a step closer to Jesus. If you regularly serve on the weekends at Mercy Hill, we’d love for you to continue to serve on your team on August 21st and 24th. If you’ve never served at Mercy Hill before, or haven’t served in a while, there are plenty of opportunities for you to invest in the generation behind you this fall.
