3 of the Best Churches in the Greater Concord Area

Are you looking for a church because you are new to the area, new to faith, or have recently decided you need a change?  

Finding the right church can be tricky with several factors to consider. We want to help you on your journey of finding Your Right Fit.  We care about all people, whether they do or do not attend our services here at Grace Capital Church.  Because our pastors stay in regular contact with many New Hampshire pastors, and because we minister to over 400 people attending Grace Capital, we are well equipped to help you find a home church.  

That is why we want to tell you about some of your choices in the Greater Concord, NH Area.  

As you read this, it is important to know that there are many more great choices than those listed here!  As Christians, we are all One Body of believers working together for the same purpose.  Any church that teaches the Bible is a safe choice theologically.  The purpose of this article is to give just a handful of area churches to help you get started on your search, but we encourage you to check out others as well.

First, let’s look at the Essential beliefs of Christian churches, as well as some important questions to ask yourself on your search.    

And then, we'll give you our list of reputable churches in the Greater Concord Area.  

If, after reading about each church, you want to get a better feel for any of them, or of Grace Capital Church, I encourage you to listen to a couple of their services available on their websites.

Essential Core Beliefs for Biblical churches are, in a nutshell

1. There is only One God and He is three-in-one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2. We ared  saved by grace, not works, only through the death (for the penalty for our sins) and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
3. The Bible is the inspired Word of God.

Key Questions to Ask as You Search for a Church

• Is the Preaching engaging and relevant for me? 
• Does the music draw me into a place of worshiping and connecting with God?
• Do I feel welcome and see prospects for relationships?
• Do the service times and meeting times for small groups work for my schedule?
• Will I be able to find a group of people who are going through a similar stage of life as I am? (parenting, singles, grief, retirees, young adults, divorcees, recovery from addictions or hardships…)
• Are there ways to volunteer that use my talents and areas of interest?
