Founded in the spring of 1996, House of Mercy offers a discriminating blend of high church and low, of tradition and innovation, sincere worship and healthy skepticism.

Although the roots of the House of Mercy are in the free church tradition--we are affiliated with the American Baptist Churches in the USA--we are committed to the diverse and rich theology and worship of the Christian church worldwide and historical. While we draw different elements of worship from many Christian ritual traditions--Lutheran, Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, and the free churches--at House of Mercy we seek to create a place where questions are encouraged, where you will not be handed a checklist of orthodoxy, where ambiguity is not the enemy of faith but its partner. You may occasionally be led to suspend your intellect. But you will not be required to sacrifice it.

The Vision
To build a church through the recovery of grace-based theology, the practice of liturgical eclecticism, and active service in the world.
