About Our Church

The building is handicapped accessible with a ramp at the end of the walkway to the left of the Pleasant Street entrance and an elevator inside to access all floors. The Congregational Church in Claremont, NH was organized in 1771, incorporated in 1815 and again incorporated in 1917 with its present name, The Congregational Church in Claremont, N.H. Inc. Later the church voted to become a UCC (United Church of Christ) congregation.

​The church building is a beautiful Gothic Revival brick structure with an impressive steeple.  In the winter of 2001 the sanctuary was renovated, restoring it to the period of the late 1890s.
Weddings and Ceremonies

The building is available for weddings of members and non-members, memorial services, and other ceremonies. Please check out our use of facility information by clicking here.

Maybe you are seeking a place for a bridal or wedding shower, reception, or birthday or anniversary venue. We are happy to chat with you about times and costs.
