Welcome to Mercy Equip
We seek to provide practical training for gospel living. As you grow in your faith and walk with Jesus, we want to equip you for every good work and help you to live out the gospel in everyday life. Below you will find a list of current and upcoming classes and forums, as well as articles that we help you navigate and consider important topics.
Whether you are new to your faith, new to Charlotte, or new to Mercy, our hope is that through one of our Equip events you will learn how to be a faithful disciple of Jesus who makes disciples of Jesus!
Bible Studies
Looking for other men or women who want to study God’s word together? We typically offer Men’s and Women’s Bible studies in the Spring and Fall each year.

Equip Class: Breaking Free From Body Shame

Men’s Bible Study | Coming March 19
Men’s Bible studies exist to encourage men to become more like Jesus as they study scripture together and pray for one another. Our next Men’s Bible study will begin on March 19, 2023.
Make Disciples
We aim to make disciples who love God, love each other, and love our world. We believe if we do this we will see a gospel awakening in the city of Charlotte that is carried to the ends of the earth. Our ongoing classes seek to help you learn how to be a disciple of Jesus who makes disciples!

Reconstructing Faith with Barnabas Piper
Mercy Church hosted guest speaker Barnabas Piper on November 5, 2022, to teach about faith reconstruction. Throughout three sessions, we learned how to ask questions, explore doubt, and cultivate tools to think about our faith. If you find yourself going through this process, or you know people who are, check out the recordings from the weekend and learn how to ask questions without losing your faith in Jesus, the scriptures, and the church.
