Mercy Culture Church | Fort Worth — Attraction in Fort Worth

I genuinely do not like writing bad reviews on businesses.. This isn’t technically a “bad” review but more like a “beware” review. Let me start with the good, the church is magnificent. IF YOU DON’T HAVE CHILDREN. The praise and worship is the best I’ve ever seen, the pastors always captivate and make you very interested in what they have to say and the church has got a good vibe about it. My only problem is children's church. If you’re not there by 11 (early) your child will not be allowed to go into children’s church. I can’t tell you the amount of times I showed up at 11:10 and got told “there is no more room for your child’s age group.” That’s very very inconvenient! Then on top of that to make matters worse, they are constantly canceling childcare altogether causing the sanctuary to fill up with children which then caused tons of families to have to sit in the “overflow” room which is in a separate part of the building and not church at all. It’s just very very inconvenient how OFTEN this happens. Church starts at 11:15, my family got there at 10:50 today and STILL didn’t get a seat. If this was rare I wouldn’t care but I told myself if it happened one more time I was leaving the church completely and leaving a review. Today is that day. I rush to church to INSURE my kids get to play with their friends, walk in and get told it’s canceled AGAIN today. This is very very inconvenient on parents. I wish this church the best and had so much fun while I was here. Again this is an amazing church, but if my children can’t do children’s church every Sunday like my husband and I do then...

I have been watching this church since 2018 when I lived in Florida and moved in 2023 to be part of it in person. I have been on staff at churches before and have seen the ugliness behind the closed doors. I had church hurt and have been through a church split. I have walked through countless difficult things in my life since being part of this church and never have I ever experienced such love, mercy, intentionality, nor spiritual leadership as I have here.

I have been on staff for almost a year, and I can testify that at Mercy Culture Church there isn’t ugliness behind the closed doors. I have never witnessed such high-level authenticity nor accountability. Through this church, the Lord has brought freedom and healing to my soul and has removed the bitterness and fear I carried from church hurt.

I have NEVER been closer to God and have NEVER walked in more freedom from the sin I used to be enslaved to, nor have I ever felt like I’ve been a part of such a healthy and loving community that feels like the family I’ve always wanted.

For anybody questioning the integrity or spiritual leadership of this church based off of 1-star reviews from people who have never even visited, keep in mind that if real believers and lovers of God aren’t doing something right for the Lord, then there wouldn’t be haters or enemies. That’s a promise from Jesus.

Mercy Culture Church must be doing...

This church has been incredible for my marriage and family. Like any other church, you get what you put in. My wife and I jumped straight in. Made quick friends, volunteered and got involved. We served with our kids in the food bank with our kids. Had countless conversations with the leaders and pastors. After a life-time of going to church, this has to be one of the healthiest places I have been. In no way is it perfect. I have just never met so many people that genuinely desire to follow Jesus and his teachings.

If you would like to visit here are some tips! Get there early. It's a full church. Lots of members and visitors. Families! Look for the SOUTH entrance. This is where you can check in your kids. It fills up fast. I would suggest getting there at least 15 mins early. Grab a coffee or tea in MC Central on the way to the sanctuary. If you have questions about ministries, food bank or serving, ask anyone with a name tag or lanyard. Those people work or are serving at the church. Say hello to someone. You are already there. (That's the hard part sometimes) don't go all the way there and not talk to anyone! Text Notes to 59090 to follow along with the message Prayer is available at the end of every service. I've seen everyone ask for prayer, leaders, staff, congregants. I have prayed with leaders several...
