Biblically grounded pastoral support to help restore relationships, strengthen marriages, and foster healthier family relationships, plus small groups growing together in Christ.

Our name

Why “Mercy River”?

A river brings life wherever it flows. We believe God’s mercy is like that: steady, refreshing, and never running dry. Our hope is that everyone who comes to us finds a place to rest, be heard, and be pointed to the One who makes all things new.

“There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God.”Psalm 46:4 (KJV)

Our approach

You will be heard

Every conversation begins with listening. We make room for your story, pray with you, and look to Scripture together for wisdom, comfort, and hope.

  • A safe, nonjudgmental, unhurried space for every journey
  • Scripture and prayer at the center of our care
  • Practical next steps you can take this week
Getting started

Three simple steps

  1. Reach out

    Send a message or call. Tell us a little about what you’re looking for.

  2. Talk together

    We’ll set up a first conversation to listen, pray, and see whether we’re a good fit.

  3. Take a next step

    Together we’ll make a plan for ongoing care or coaching, or help you find another resource.

An important note about our services

Our services are Christian pastoral counseling and faith-based coaching, not clinical mental health counseling or therapy, and we are not a crisis service. If you may need clinical care, we will encourage you to see a qualified clinician and help you find one.

If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). In an emergency, call 911.

We’d be honored to listen and pray with you.
