MERCYhouse

MERCYhouse A gospel-centered family on mission to make disciples who make disciples everywhere we go. We prayed, we hoped, we prayed some more.

MERCYhouse was started in Amherst, MA in 1999 by Joe Greene and Robert Krumrey in cooperation with The Baptist Churches of New England. You may be thinking, "How exactly do you start a church?" Well, we wondered that too until September 12, 1999. We started by getting the word out all around town and on the campus of UMass that a new church was starting up and that we would be meeting in the Inn o

n Boltwood on a Sunday evening to let people find out more. The result was a jam-packed room of college students and other young adults who were hungry to know God, build a close-knit community, and turn all that knowing and growing into service to others. From that launching point, our MERCYhouse family has grown to encompass students from our five area colleges (and beyond) as well as people from our community. We've been flooded with both people of faith desiring to grow deeper and those who have come to investigate the Christian faith for the very first time. Our hope is that MERCYhouse will be a safe place for people to find their way to God through faith in Christ (that's the MERCY part) and experience that faith in the context of loving community (that's the house part). Come spend time with our gospel-centered family on mission on Sunday mornings or at a Midweek gathering!

As we reflect on 9/11 today we are reminded about the precious lives lost including one of the MERCYhouse core planting team members, Jessica Sachs.

You can read the story of Jessica on the MH website which is linked below.

Praying for all those who lost loved ones 24 years ago today.

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun on this Tuesday!

Reminder that this Sunday is Pentecost Sunday and to commemorate the church holiday we invite people to wear red and bring a red flower to decorate MH!

This annual Church holiday commemorates the arrival and descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. This historical event marks the birth of the Church and the empowerment of Christ’s followers to be his witnesses among all tribes, tongues, and nations. Read Acts 2 for the account of the first Pentecost in the Church 🔥

Good Friday Begins

The very air that Pilate breathes, the voice
With which he speaks in judgment, all his powers
Of perception and discrimination, choice,
Decision, all his years, his days and hours,
His consciousness of self, his every sense,
Are driven by this prisoner l, freely given.
The man who stands there making no defense,
Is God. His hands are tied, his heart is open.
And he bears Pilate’s heart in his and feels
That crushing weight of wasted life. He lifts
It up in silent love. He lifts and heals.
He gives himself again with all his gifts
Into our hands. As Pilate turns away
A door swings open. This is judgment day.

-Jesus is Condemned to Death by Malcom Guite
