OUR HISTORY

 

     The church of Christ began back in the first century A.D. after the death, burial, and subsequent resurrection of Jesus the Christ. Before Jesus ascended back to heaven we read that His disciples asked when His kingdom would be established. Jesus told them that the Spirit would come on them with power, and that they would be His witnesses throughout Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the rest of the earth (Acts 1:6-8). Soon after that, on the day of Pentecost, this very thing happens and we see the first Christian converts added to the church (Acts chapters 1, 2, & 3). From that point on the church grew and spread throughout the world (The rest of Acts records the beginning of this). Though there has been apostasy, persecution, and all sorts of false teaching throughout the years, the Lord's church has always existed.

 

     This congregation of the Lord's church began meeting in 1978 when several Christians in the area started assembling together in their homes. After renting rooms in Laconia, they outgrew the location and moved to a larger facility in nearby Gilford, NH. The present facility located at the corner of Mill Street and West Main Street in Tilton, NH, was purchased by the congregation in 1988.

 

​     We have seen our share of good times and bad, growth and decline, but we always have rested our faith and hope in Jesus and His Word. This congregation is excited to see the Lord work in our community and affect the lives of our friends and neighbors!
