About Us Play Video

1 Thessalonians 2:8

“Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.”

Mercy Street is a multicultural, multiethnic, multigenerational movement of God’s people that walk, work, witness, and worship together for His glory and the good of the city and beyond!

Mercy Street Sports reaches over 1,200 athletes annually. Sports is the easiest way to get involved with Mercy Street. During their time with Mercy Street Sports, each player is taught the fundamentals of a sport, and the fundamentals of faith. Our sports leagues are Christ-centered, safe, high energy and a lot of fun!
Mercy Street Mentoring cultivates mutually transforming relationships by pairing children in West Dallas, South Dallas, and Vickery Meadow with a caring Christian adult and providing a way for the local church to fulfill the Great Commission. Our goal is for each child to find that their mentor is someone that they can confide in and express their dreams with. However, time and time again, we have seen that mentors also have much to learn and are blessed through being a mentor.
Mercy Street Leadership equips emerging leaders while they are in high school for success after graduation with initiatives such as the Summer Internship Intensive, Alumni Association, and Street Teams. As we work to prepare this next generation, we desire to see workforce development and spiritual development from each student.
Launched in June 2025, Mercy Street serves Dallas Housing Authority residents’ children with a safe, Christ-centered space where they can learn, grow, and thrive. Each day brings hot breakfasts and lunches, reading and math enrichment, and the debut of our first Mercy Street Summer Camp—a joyful blend of fun, faith, and friendship that inspires the next generation.
