Mary Merritt is not a top church leader. She is a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Jefferson Iowa, and volunteers there.

Sometimes Mary Merritt is an usher, or reads a text as part of a church service.

Mery Merritt is listed as a “faith leader” in Donald Trump’s Iowa Faith Leader Coalition, but there is no record anywhere online, not even on her own church’s website, that shows her engaged in any leadership activities.
