MERCY HOUSE MINISTRIES
Embrace Grace | Hands of Blessing
Mercy House Ministries exists to provide spiritual, emotional, and practical support and resources to single, pregnant women and mothers in our community.
We desire to help every woman with an unplanned pregnancy find a place of belonging and hope for the future.

To help her be brave and choose life.
To help moms get plugged into a support group where she can be mentored, discipled, and become part of a church family who loves her the same way Jesus loves – unconditionally!
To provide a loving, safe, judgment-free environment where single, pregnant women & mothers experience healing & freedom from fear, guilt & shame, and are made aware of their God-given value, ability, and identity in Christ.

Unconditional Love | The way we transform lives is through love, and we give it away freely because Christ first loved us. The world will know us by our love.
Safety, Security & Refuge
Advocacy | We look for and draw out the treasure in others. We celebrate who someone is without stumbling over who they are not. We recognize and affirm how valuable others are because they are made in God’s image.
Discipleship | We provide wisdom & guidance, and we teach women how to hear God’s voice and follow him.
Forgiving & Gracious
Generosity | We give generously of our time, talent and treasure. We do our best in stewarding the gifts God has given us as an act of worship to Jesus.
Judgment Free

WE ARE A PRO-LOVE CHURCH
Being pro-life is a stance, a belief system, a vote. And it’s important. Being pro-love is an action, the boots on the ground, the hand and feet of Jesus, the church. That’s what we are doing through Embrace Grace at Parkside.
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.”
I Corinthians 13:1-2
LOVE BOX
A Love Box is a gift to single young women who may be considering abortion. Each box has a personal invitation to our Parkside Church Embrace Grace support group, stories from both a parenting mom and birth mom, a letter of hope, a journal with writing prompts encouraging her to be fearless, a “Best Gift Ever” onesie, and a “A Bump in Life” book that includes testimonies that offer single and pregnant moms hope.
