Church History
Pastor Curney was licensed to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in October 1987 from New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Decatur, Ga, under the leadership of Bishop Eddie L. Long. Pastor began his ministry as Youth Pastor under the tutelage of Bishop Long. As a result of serving under Bishop Long, Pastor Curney was thoroughly equipped to accept God's present calling as Pastor of New Mercies. Pastor Curney recently graduated with his Master's of Divinity Degree in Theology from Luther Rice University, Lithonia, Ga.
During the year of 2000 God began to speak to Pastor Jesse Curney, III while still the Assistant Pastor at New Birth and said “I have a new thing for you.” After hearing the voice of God, Pastor Curney began to pray and have conversations with Bishop Long concerning the revelation God was giving him. In the latter part of 2001 during his prayer time God’s voice became clearer. During this time of prayer, Pastor Curney asked the question, “God what do you want your new temple of dwelling to be named?” God spoke and reminded him that everyday you arise, “I provide you with new mercies”. From that point forward, Pastor Curney began to call that which was about to be birthed out of him, “New Mercies”.
With only three weeks of preparation for God's new ordinance New Mercies Christian Church's inaugural service took place May 5, 2002, with over 1,000 well wishers in attendance. In its present location in Lilburn for only three months, New Mercies has multiplied from 35 founding families to more than (2000) families, making it one of the fastest growing churches in Lilburn, Ga, Gwinnett County.
In order to bring the Vision to pass, New Mercies has over 34 ministries to meet the needs of the people. God has convinced us that He is no respecter of person and that He is truly sovereign. We recognize that everything we do must give glory to God and everything we have belongs to Him.
