WELCOMING HEARTS -
GROWING IN FAITH & SERVICE
Welcome to Nashua Presbyterian Church.
We are a little church community tucked in the woods
just south of Route 111 in western Nashua.
We have only been here 25 years
and are still working at understanding
what God is doing with us in this place.
This year we celebrate our 25th Anniversary
of becoming a Chartered Congregation of the PCUSA.

THIS SUNDAY! 3 PM
Our Gardens helped Grow Nashua reach and surpass their goal! From Grow Nashua "Day by day, you shared, we drove around and collected, and we surpassed our goal and shared 15,640 pounds of
veggies with families in need!"
What excites me about Nashua Presbyterian Church
Another response to the question: 'What excites me about Nashua Presbyterian?'
What excites me about this church is an interesting question. Yes, the love and caring between all of the members is exciting, and it is an atmosphere that I have never before experienced with other churches we have been members of. But, what really gets me, is the ability to express our thoughts, ideas and suggestions. We each have a voice within the church. Suggestions and ideas are not dismissed out of hand. There have been many ideas and suggestions over the years that have really started new missions.
One of those ideas was for the Deacons to start a Vegetable Garden for those within the church that did not have access or space or knowledge to do it for themselves. Would you believe that we went from a 12 ft by 12ft space to now a 40 ft by 40 ft space and additional raised beds. We currently supply between 400 and 500 lbs of fresh vegetables every year to other organizations within Nashua and a similar amount to the members of our congregation. I can’t tell you what joy I get from seeing a tiny seed grow into 5-foot-tall plants with fruit that we all can use and share. This year we grew a cabbage of about 5lbs and the smile on the little boy that took it home was enormous. It was almost like the best Christmas present ever. The smiles and expressions of thanks on the visitors to the Lil Farm Stands and our own congregation says it all. This is the joy that I receive every time someone picks up a tomato, cabbage or other vegetable and makes their dinner with them.

Get to know us!
We call ourselves 'The Church in the Woods'
because of our love of the environment.
We are situated on 13 acres
which we seek to care for creatively -
having tucked the church back in the woods
rather than right on the road.
We have lots of gardens including
multiple flower gardens,
a Memorial Garden,
a Blueberry Garden
and a Deacon's Vegetable Garden
as well as a Meditation Trail in the woods.
In January of 2014
we were first certified as a PCUSA
Earth Care Congregation
and we continue to do all we can
to keep that certification.
And in 2021 we've qualified again!
If you come to visit, we want to make you feel at home in this community, so expect someone to welcome you on your visit. We are a faith-seeking community that is eager to learn about and express God's love for the world. Some here have been life-long Christians, others are new to the Christian faith, and some are here to reconnect with their faith. We are also an accepting congregation. Nobody will care what you wear to Church, so if you are looking for a faith community, some place to be inspired, or if you feel like something is missing in your life, visit Nashua Presbyterian.
