Our Church Family
While we are currently primarily Aston residents, we have Redeeming Mercy friends who live in Chester and Media, Swarthmore and Upper Chichester, Brookhaven and Essington. Our vision is to build active communities of faith throughout the neighborhoods of southern Delco.
Whether you are single or married, are raising kids alone, with a spouse or are empty-nesting, no matter your race or creed, whether a spiritual skeptic or a committed believer, old or young, introvert or extrovert, we would love to walk with you as you seek to know and understand God better.

Christians spend far too much time alone these days, pursuing our personal agendas. It’s our God-given identity to live as a body, or as a family, yet we’ve bought into the radical independence of society; a double lie, which shouts, “You can do it alone!” and then, “You have to do it alone!” But God didn’t create us to live that way. He created us in his image as communal beings. We are meant to thrive in intimate tribal units. We see it as a key mandate of church-life that we do all we can to counteract independence. We establish churches that are small enough to be radically intimate. Everyone is known. Lives are open to scrutiny and Gospel-need is obvious. Everyone interacts regularly. Everyone serves and everyone is dependent. Everyone is valued. This is Church!
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit mercy, then it isn’t mercy.
By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.
The difference between humanity and all the rest of creation is that men and woman were made to relate directly with God.
Genuine spiritual knowledge lies in the union of the believer’s life with the truth of God.
