Welcome!
MERCYhouse is a household of faith being built by the Mercy of God
We are a Gospel-centered family on mission to make disciples who make disciples on campuses, in communities, and among the unreached people of the world.
MERCYhouse is a local, evangelical expression of the Body of Christ. We are Baptist in theological heritage, congregational in church governance, and elder-led in pastoral oversight.
Beginnings
MERCYhouse was started in Amherst, MA in 1999 by Joe Greene and Robert Krumrey in cooperation with The Baptist Convention of New England.
From the beginning, our MERCYhouse family has grown to encompass students from our Five-College area (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).
