Welcome To the Merrimack Valley Church! Together in Christ let us gather fresh courage to face the great challenges of life.
Think About It: A man with fifty problems is twice as alive as a man with twenty-five. If you haven't got problems, you should get down on your knees and ask, "Lord, don't you trust me anymore." --John Bainbridge

A Heart To Give: When it comes to giving in the church, people want to share a relationship with the ministry of that church. They do not want to give money based on a sense of guilt or compulsion, but in a sense of partnership with a meaningful ministry in which their financial assistance is integral to the health and vitality of the church.
