Cultivating a Sense of Community, Spiritual Kinship, and ActiveParticipation in Religious & Secular Educational Endeavors
Non-Profit Congregational Society in Gilmanton
At FIRST CONGREGATIONAL SOCIETY GILMANTON, we are dedicated to preserving our rich history while fostering a sense of community and belonging through non-profit fundraising events and programs. Through fundraising initiatives, historic church information, and educational programs, we strive to create an inviting environment where individuals can gather to share the principles of Christian faith. The Tradition of Congregationalism is to include people within the community, to forgive and to assist others in many ways. The Congregationalists were early abolitionists.
