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.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Hey parents! Has the snow today got you thinking about Christmas? 🎄 Well, it's got us in a festive spirit, so we're giving away two sets of the Tiny Theologian's Advent Cards! • This set of 25 cards walks you and your little theologians through the family tree of Christ – from Abraham all the way to Jesus. Each colorfully illustrated card includes a short Scripture reading, exegetical explanation, and questions for discussion. When arranged in 5 rows of 5 cards, they create a beautiful mural of Christ’s family tree. This Advent season, your kids can learn about the unlikely people God called to be part of His plan to bring the Savior into the world, and how Jesus makes a way for us to be grafted into His family as well! • Here's how to enter: 1) Like this photo. 2) Comment and tag two of your fellow parent-friends. 3) Let us know your greatest prayer for your kid(s) this Advent and Christmas season. • One entry per person, per social media platform. Giveaway closes Monday, November 19th at 9am.
