Musicians

As songwriters, recording artists, and multi-instrumentalists, Niah and Allisha Merrill cross traditional and modern genres, leading hearts in authentic worship of Jesus Christ. We appreicate the Merrills’ heart for the Lord and this ministry of reaching children around the world with the Gospel.

This Hope

THIS HOPE discovered a unifying bond in music and ministry while growing up together in Soldotna, Alaska. After traveling extensively for 25 years, singing over 150 times a year, they entered a new season of ministry in 2021 that brought a slower pace of travel but the same joy in communicating the life-changing power of the Gospel. They have recorded 16 albums together since 1992. Their heart to lead others in worship and to encourage the body of Christ shines through every time they minister together. They all reside in Woodstock, Georgia where they are members of First Baptist Church Woodstock.
