CHURCH COUNCIL
Chair:
Jerry Harrow
Mission:
As Christians we provide a sanctuary of faith to welcome people of all ages and national, social and cultural backgrounds; to encourage each individual to grow in the knowledge and love of God in their unique spiritual journey through education and worship; to assist them in times of difficulty and sorrow; to share with them in the joys and celebrations of life; and to enable them to make moral decisions. We aspire to provide a haven for the needy of spirit, body and mind; we invite all to use their gifts and graces in a variety of ministries to downtown Nashua, the surrounding community and the world.
