Mission:

The First Presbyterian Church of Haverhill is an intimate spiritual fellowship which warmly welcomes all in committed service to the Lord, the community, and each other. We provide a safe and healing place to love and worship God so that members can receive spiritual nourishment. Our mission is to demonstrate God's love through service, support and commitment to those within and outside of our walls.

About Us:

Founded in 1898, the First Presbyterian Church of Haverhill was founded in 1898 with 23 charter members. The church was originally housed on Summer Street. In 1982 the congregation mourned the loss of it's building. The church had weathered disasters before, including a severe fire in 1928, which caused major damage to the 1860 structure. Ultimately, it was this damage that caused the building to be found structurally unsafe and it was demolished.

Although the building came down, the church survived! The members moved their worship to the chapel of the Church of Christ in Bradford. The decision was made to search for property and to build a new church. Land was purchased at Broadway and Carleton Street. The new church was completed in 1986.
