When my wife and I were searching for a new church here in the Triad to attend together, we had heard about a great church that was planted out of Raleigh and had seen tremendous growth in a short period of time. We checked it out, and though I was initially skeptical (I prefer smaller churches), I was impressed by the intentionality and thought they put it into every level of leadership and service. Not only that, they were Gospel-centered, and though being big(ish), they had almost no programs, but really only one goal: to make Jesus known and plant more churches. This church is Mercy Hill, and we've been attending there for about 2 years now and have loved being part of it.

So we were also excited when we heard that the same church in Raleigh who planted Mercy Hill was sending out another group to come plant in our city, Winston Salem. And though my wife and I are committed to Mercy Hill for the time being, we love that a similar-minded church will be reaching out to people right here in the heart of downtown. I have loved getting to know the leadership of the church personally, and can vouch for their heart and vision to reach Winston Salem and beyond. I consider it a privilege therefore to get to partner with them in making videos for Two Cities, and thereby spreading the gospel in our own city. I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for them and all the stories of transformation and redemption that are (already) coming out of this new church plant. God is glorified when we tell His stories, and I'm happy to share with you the first of many. Enjoy!
