“Grace to you, and peace from God!”
These are the words that the Apostle Paul used to address the Christian church in Corinth, words that spoke of his affection for that community and a confession of where their true strength might be found: the God we know in Jesus Christ. We invite everyone to join in our community of faith: to gather to worship God, engage in fellowship, and serve his people. Whether on Sunday mornings or beyond, we encourage you to reach out to us and to one another, in person or by phone or email.
We offer worship services every Sunday morning at 10:00, with a live stream available on Zoom. Please click on the corresponding links below for worship resources; to receive the Zoom link, contact the church office by email or phone (603-448-4281). Visitors to FCC are welcome to wear masks if they wish. Contact the church office if you have questions about a service or any other event here. Please note that the Rev. Steve Silver is on sabbatical until September 2025.
Please note that Church Street is closed to all traffic from S. Park St (Colburn Park) to the FCC parking lot entrance for the construction of the new central fire station. To access the church lot, please follow posted detours along Water/Valley Sts or Spring St. The City of Lebanon apologizes for this inconvenience, which is expected to last through 2025.
