Gathered on March 30, 1842 with 44 charter members, East Congregational Church was the last “offspring” of the Old North Church in Concord, organized “for the greater convenience” of the members residing in East Concord. Land owned by Jeremiah Pecker, Jr. on the current Mountain Road was selected as the building site, and the cornerstone was laid on June 9, 1841;
it remains the second oldest original church structure in Concord.
Today we continue as an active, vibrant church of the Congregational tradition, a member of the United Church of Christ since 1961 and part of the Merrimack Association of the New Hampshire Conference UCC. We are an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ, extending God’s extravagant welcome to all!
