The Great Commission

The eleven disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. When they saw Him, they worshiped, but some doubted. Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” -HCSB

What is up with our logo?

Jesus doesn't need His church to have a logo...but throughout the centuries, the church has used symbols as a form of identity and remembrance. The cross, a fish, a heart on fire...etc. all hold special meanings to the church.  Mercer Baptist Church is located in West Tennessee and strategically between three of the largest towns in our area: Jackson, Brownsville, and Bolivar. With a drive time of under twenty minutes from all three, we are a perfect Sunday drive away from any of them. As a local community church, we desire to bring God's kingdom plans and purposes to this area first. We also want to be a sending church. From the overflow of God's grace and blessings in our own backyards, we can be used to reach other areas of Tennesse, America, and the Ends of the Earth for Christ. When we placed our "M" in the middle of this triangle, it looked like a pointing arrow. Reminding us to never get complacent locally, but to be mindful to go.
