MERCYhouse is a church in Amherst, Massachusetts that is home to community members and students from the Five Colleges. 

 

We'd love for you to join our family!

 

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.

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Robert emphasized that we must come to the understanding, as Christians, that when we joined Jesus, we joined his Church. Watch the short video at the link in our bio of rapper and pastor Trip Lee take the conversation further as he answers the question “Can a Christian love Jesus but not the church?”
“There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:4-6‬ ‭ • The church is established and unified as ONE when we hold to certain things. Listen again to yesterday’s sermon to hear about the things we are called to embrace as the body. Link in bio.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas out there! Whether you are a hard-working, loving woman called “Mom” or don’t have the name but do the work of any great mom, we are endlessly thankful for how God uses you to nurture and build up our MERCYhouse family. We love you! 💗
We love our missionaries! We love our mission partners! This team of mission partners met this week to share their vision for mission and pray together. Join Anthony and Lois in praying for Rob and Sam as they head out in the next couple weeks! • We commissioned 12 people to go out on missions this summer all across the world and partnered them with some of their MERCYhouse family members who will be praying for them and checking in during their time away. Stay tuned for more updates over the course of the summer! • #globalmissions #reachthenations #mercyhouse #family #tgc #bcne #gospelcenteredchurch #gospelcentered #gospel
“We know that a crescendo is the increase in sound, the increase in loudness of something. And the whole goal of ‘Crescendo’ is to communicate the idea that as we grow in faith towards God, our fruit should get louder.” -Jackie Hill Perry • Perry’s new album ‘Crescendo’ presents both challenge and encouragement, starting low with lamentations and ending big with the gospel message.
