About Us

Light, love, and the knowledge of Christ.

Growing in the light, love, and knowledge of Jesus Christ — and becoming beacons unto as many persons and communities as possible.

A vibrant, Christ-centered church in Oklahoma City, passionate about the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, scriptural prayer, praise and worship, compassionate ministry, and the next generation.

The name Mercy Seat recalls the lid of the Ark of the Covenant — the very place God promised to meet with His people. That is our prayer for this church: that every gathering would be a place where heaven and earth meet, where grace is found, and where lives are transformed by the presence of Jesus.
