We believe that in ministry, Christians are better together. Mercy’s Door is happily partnered with several networks for brotherhood, support, resources, and shared mission.
CHURCH PLANTING NETWORKS
ACTS 29
Acts 29 is a global community of healthy, multiplying churches. They offer church leaders decades of experience-proven training, guidance, and tools for planting churches designed to grow and thrive.
SEND Network
Send Network is a family of churches seeking to plant healthy, multiplying churches in every community across North America. We believe that healthy, multiplying churches discover, develop and deploy church planting teams from within, and we believe every Send Network church is a multiplying church in the making.
North America Mission Board CPMC Initiative (Church Planting in Military Contexts)
From new recruits to retired veterans, more than 23 million men and women are part of the American military. They have given their lives to benefit the lives of others and endured the horrors and hardships of battle—physically, mentally and spiritually. Members of the Armed Services and their families desperately need healthy community, but the transient nature of their assignments, deployments and culture in general can make connecting difficult. Through church planting near military communities, we seek to affect change, meet needs, disciple believers, and help mobilize the church in powerful and strategic ways.
PLANT MIDWEST
Plant Midwest is a theologically conservative, Gospel-centered, holy spirit dependent prayer movement focused on church planting led by church planters. Their mission - infusing Christ's love and presence into an ever changing culture through the never changing story. Their vision - to see our communities experience life through the planting of gospel centered, spirit empowered churches.
MERCY MINISTRIES
MASCOUTAH WEEKEND MEALS
Our program provides bags of food for children in Mascoutah Community School District #19 who are at risk for weekend hunger.
COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL
Compassion’s mission is to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. Releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name is a mission about love. We love God, and we demonstrate our love and live out our faith by extending care to others and living out the meaning of compassion.
THE RESTORE NETWORK
Foster care is designed to protect children, but unfortunately, it can harm them further. Kids are moved from place to place, many of which are not equipped to help them heal from their trauma.
The Restore Network was created to help the church respond. We link arms with those on the front lines of foster care through long-standing partnerships with child welfare agencies and court staff. But, as a privately run organization, we can remain agile in our response to the foster-care crisis, allowing us to respond in realtime, as Christ would.
MOSAIC PREGNANCY & HEALTH CENTERS

FOUNDERS MINISTRIES
Founders Ministries is committed to encouraging the recovery of the gospel and the biblical reformation of local churches. We believe that the biblical faith is inherently doctrinal, and we are therefore confessional in our convictions. We recognize the time-tested Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) as a faithful summary of important biblical teachings and the abstract of that confession known as the Abstract of Principles.
SMALL TOWN PASTORS
