Londonderry Presbyterian Church is the oldest continuing Presbyterian congregation in the Northeast and one of the oldest on the East Coast. The building housing Londonderry Presbyterian Church was built in 1837, roughly a hundred years following the West Parish Church’s founding. The church met in several meeting houses before that both in Derry and in Londonderry before settling on its current location. One of the prior meeting houses the church used is still standing and is now the Lion’s Club Hall across the town square from Londonderry Presbyterian Church.

 Those early settlers carved out a living here in New Hampshire. Many of the buildings in the Nutfield area speak to the resiliency of the men and women who cut timbers and laid stones for their construction and foundations. Farming, too, was no easy feat, since anyone who gardens in New England knows we have only one native crop in our area: rocks. Yet they carried on and even planted the first potatoes grown in the New World. In addition to that, they grew, spun, and wove linen for which they eventually became famous.

 Londonderry Presbyterian Church has a rich history and many stories spread through its rich history. The congregation and leadership are honored to carry this sacred heritage forward and pray the Lord will bless the church as He has blessed it for the last three hundred years. We pray this congregation will continue to act as a sanctuary and source of His light to the community and a blessing to all who enter its doors.
