God of Mercy Church

A beacon of faith in Brooklyn, the God of Mercy Church has a story as inspiring as its name. God of Mercy Church isn’t just a building. It’s a testament to the power of faith and perseverance. Founded in 1984 by Brother Hogarth Louis and his wife, Dacilia, God of Mercy Church began in humble circumstances. A simple basement, offered by a homeowner who recognized Brother Louis’s calling, served as the first location. Sixteen members gathered there, laying the foundation for what would become a thriving community. Brother Louis hadn’t initially envisioned himself as a pastor. He and Dacilia had migrated from Haiti just the year before, intending to settle in Washington D.C. A visit to family in Brooklyn changed their plans, and ultimately, their destiny. Despite initial resistance, Brother Louis accepted his calling after receiving multiple visions from church members and witnessing God’s provision. The small congregation steadily grew, prompting a move to a larger space in 1987. The year 2000 marked a major milestone. God of Mercy Church acquired its current building. After overcoming financial challenges, the new sanctuary was inaugurated in 2004. Five years later, the church celebrated its 25th anniversary, a testament to the unwavering dedication of Brother Hogarth and Dacilia Louis. God of Mercy Church is more than just a place of worship. It’s a vibrant hub of community activity. Every Saturday, members prepare and distribute meals to the homeless, living out their faith by serving those in need. The annual book drive provides children in the local community and in Jamaica with essential school supplies, fostering a spirit of excellence and empowering young minds. God of Mercy Church embraces its unique identity. It’s not defined by a single denomination, but rather by a commitment to the teachings of Christ and His apostles. The church welcomes all who seek truth and strive to live like Christ. It is a place where faith and community intersect, where stories of perseverance inspire hope, and where the mercy of God is experienced daily.
