About NH Council of Churches

The New Hampshire Council of Churches (NHCC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1945. It has its roots in Protestant ecumenical organizations of the late 19th and early 20th century, specifically, the New Hampshire Sunday School Association. The modern organization is comprised of representatives from 10 religious denominations including representatives from the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Quaker communities within New Hampshire.

The NHCC works to promote Christian Unity, ecumenical and interfaith dialogue, and prayer throughout the state. It has a strong commitment to social justice and the promotion of spiritual growth.
