Groups At Mercy

Do you have a connection to Asia or enjoy Asian cuisine? If you answered "Yes" to either of those questions, this group is for you! We will meet every other Sunday to fellowship over a meal, discuss takeaways from the current Sermon series, and pray. Childcare not provided but kids are welcome to come play or watch a movie.

Do you sing or play an instrument and want to connect with others through music and faith? Whether you’ve only got a little experience on your instrument or you’re a seasoned pro, come join us! Each session, we’ll gather to learn the musical elements of a song, learn how to play it, and learn how to play it all together! Still learning some things on your instrument? That’s okay! Some coaching and guidance with learning chords, melodies, and rhythms will be built in!

What are Hurts, Habits, and Hang-ups?

• Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse
• Growing up in family dysfunction
• Addictions like drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, food, or anything else we idolize
• Emotional hang-ups like anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem
• Anything that causes you shame, guilt, despair, depression, anger, or pain

We all experience brokenness from our hurts, habits, and hang-ups, but we can find freedom in Christ when we allow his power to change us.

Every other Thursday
6:30-8:30 PM

Thursdays
Every Thursday at 6:00 PM

Men of all ages and backgrounds are invited to come for fellowship on second Saturdays from 9:00 - 10:30 am at Mercy Vineyard Church.

2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month from 5PM - 7PM in White Bear Lake
Everyone’s welcome—kids and all! Hosted by the Stanton family, this home group is a space where real life and faith come together. We share a potluck meal, enjoy an all-play family activity, and make time to pray for one another. It’s a casual, come-as-you-are kind of evening with room for laughter, meaningful conversation, and community that includes the whole family. Come hungry—for food, connection, and a deeper sense of belonging.

The Collective is a monthly gathering for adults to build authentic community through seasonal activities, shared meals, and genuine connection. Each month brings something new—whether it’s an outdoor adventure, a creative night, a service project, or a cozy get-together. No matter the activity, the focus is always the same: fellowship over formality.

The Collectives next gathering involves hosting a Vikings Watch Party at Mercy on the evening of December 14th. The game starts around 7pm and the doors at the church will open at 6pm.

We will be projecting the game in the Mercy's auditorium and will have food and games in the cafe. All ages are welcome, but childcare will not be provided for this event.

We are asking people to RSVP beforehand to gauge how many will be in attendance. We are also asking everyone who is able to bring a snack to share. Looking for football party type food chips and dip, desert bars and cookies, cheese plates, veggie tray, etc. We will have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, otherwise bring your own drinks. Also, if you have a simple board or card game to bring feel free to bring that as well.

Come hang out for the whole game or just for a bit, we would love to see you there!

You can RSVP via the forms link below with the number of adults and children attending in your group, which snack/game you're planning on bringing, or sign up to join The Collective to be notified for future events!

Join us as we partner with these other great organizations to make a difference in the Twin Cities! Each year we partner with a number of nonprofits that are aligned with Mercy's mission and these two are some of our favorites. We'll be focusing on doing outreach on specific nights this fall and would love your help! Each outing may be different but we're excited to do work outside of Mercy's building.
