Giving Matters.

When you give to North Church, your offering makes an impact on our ministry and service in the world. Through your generosity we’re able to sustain and grow our ministries, open our doors to our Seacoast community, and serve our neighbors in need.

In addition to a financial gift, we invite you to give of your time and talent-we know and trust that God is already at work within you, already doing good in the world through you. Why not do all that good together?

You can make a one-time or recurring gift by clicking the button below. If you have questions, would like to give an in-kind gift (e.g., stocks/bonds, insurance, land, royalties), or would prefer to make your gift a different way, please message us via our Contact Form or call (603) 436-9109.

How can we pray for you?

Do you sometimes feel like raising your hand in worship is just a touch too vulnerable? Do you have people or circumstances you're praying for consistently, but don't want to say aloud every week in worship? You're not alone!

We're developing a prayer list so that we can hold each other in our hearts and in our prayers throughout the week. If you have a prayer you’d like us to pray for and with you, please click on the button below for our Prayer Request Form.
