Church Planting
THE network
A planted church that plants churches
In 2015, our Lead Pastor, Spence Shelton was sent to plant a church right here in the city of Charlotte by his sending church – The Summit Church in Durham, NC. Because of that, Mercy Church is a part of The Summit Collaborative, which means we are committed to sending out our best people to go and plant more churches. These gospel goodbyes aren’t easy, and are often bittersweet, but we believe that this is God’s plan for reaching the lost around the world.
