Church History in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's Christian heritage dates back to the 17th century, when Puritan settlers first established congregations and shaped the state's religious landscape. In the centuries since, waves of immigration have introduced diverse denominations, from the state's original Congregational roots to the influx of Catholic, Baptist, and Methodist faiths. Throughout this evolution, New Hampshire has witnessed significant spiritual revivals, most notably the Great Awakening of the 1740s, which left an indelible mark on the region's churches and communities.
