About Mercy OPC
Mercy OPC is a place of new beginnings, yet, a church with roots in the past. It is Presbyterian in that it is led by servant-leaders who serve Jesus Christ and His people. Mercy OPC is a church that takes the Bible seriously. The Bible is of central importance to us. We desire to be a community that is informed and formed by His Word.
Mercy OPC is a mission congregation of Falls Presbyterian Church. The elders of Falls Church oversee and shepherd our work here. We are part of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, a denomination that was founded in 1936. The OPC's beliefs are set forth in the Westminster Standards. These documents reflect the historical, scriptural teachings on the authority of the Bible, the necessity of faith and repentance for salvation, the conviction of salvation by grace alone and secured by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
