Mercy Ministries
Mercy Ministries is free-of-charge biblically-based program that serves a diverse population of young women from various socio-economic backgrounds, aged 13-28.  Many of the girls, who come to Mercy for help, are facing a combination of debilitating circumstances and have been in various treatment facilities with unsuccessful long-term results.  We are committed to providing the young women we serve with the most excellent program services that allhttp://www.jgschurch.org/jgs-service-organizationsow them to recognize their self-worth and prepare them to reach their full potential.  Our non-conventional approach to healing allows young women to permanently stop destructive cycles and prepares them to take hope out into their communities. 

JGS/Mercy Ministries is a partnership ministry with other area churches who sponsor events such as The Night of the Book in October, The Night of the Bible at the Biedenharn Museum in March/April, and The Day of the Basket (making Easter baskets and presenting them to the girls) just prior to Easter.  In addition, we help wrap Christmas presents for the Mercy Ministries ladies in December.
