The Basics

MERCYhouse was started in Amherst, MA in 1999 by Joe Greene and Robert Krumrey in cooperation with The Baptist Convention of New England. You may be thinking, "How exactly do you start a church?" Well, we wondered that too until September 12, 1999.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Today 20 years ago, the Krumrey family packed up their belongings and moved to Massachusetts to plant a new church called MERCYhouse. Since then, the Lord has equipped and sent out so many people from this place. Pastor Robert wrote a short article to celebrate these 20 years of God’s faithfulness.

Cory Telman exhorted us from 2 John 1:12-13 to ask the question of our neighbor, “Do you have the sense that God is pursuing a close relationship with you?” Listen to the whole sermon at the link in our bio.

Have you ever wondered whether your prayers were effective? Does God just bring about the best results anyway, and if so, why pray? In episode one of MHU’s new summer series, “Does Prayer Work?”, we take on this question. We look at some reasons to think prayers make a difference for what God cares about and we discuss in just what sense we should think God “brings about the best results.
