Our Affiliation

The Franciscan Brothers of Mercy is not affiliated with any particular denomination but desires to be broadly evangelical and available to everyone who can affirm our theological statement of faith and the “Evangelical Celebration” found on our web-site. 

The Franciscan Brothers of Mercy submits to the counsel and spiritual direction of several men of different Protestant denominations, men who serve as Pastors, Chaplains and leaders in their particular churches or parachurch ministries.
