2026 has brought exciting changes for Mercy’s Door. In the past, we have been blessed with the ability to utilize existing spaces for our Sunday gathering while using our church office on Main Street as a place for smaller gatherings. Now we have been blessed with the purchase of new land to build our space. A place for future Gospel ministry.

We completed the first phase of our work at the new property with the house now storing our stuff from the Leu well. The focus is now on replicating all that we now do at the office so that it can also be done at the property. This second phase also includes design of the space that we will use for corporate worship. We can now use the property for small gatherings for prayer, study, and fellowship. This will be enhanced significantly when paint and flooring in the fireside room is complete.

faithfully building together

We believe this property is more than land. It is an opportunity to create a place where the gospel will be proclaimed, disciples will be made, and lives will be transformed for generations to come. As we move forward together, this page will keep you updated on our progress and provide tangible ways for you to pray, serve, and invest in what God is doing.

If you have skills (or just want to learn them) to help, this is a place we will keep updated with current tasks.
