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
began as an American Baptist Church--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 (we are affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America), 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.
