About Us

It is our mission to be a Christ-centered church with an inviting faith, a growing faith and a serving faith.

 

Our Sunday worship service is at 10AM and we invite you to join us!
(Summer services begin at 9AM.)  
Families worship together until the children’s sermon after which the children may proceed to the classrooms for Sunday School.  On the first Sunday of each month we join in the sacrament of Communion to which all are welcome….including children.

We are handicapped accessible with a "no steps" entrance from the rear parking lot.  An elevator provides easy access to all levels.  Hearing devices are available.  There is a “quiet corner” for nursing mothers or infants with a speaker nearby so as to hear and see everything going on in the sanctuary.  A staffed nursery is also available. Refreshments are served after the service for a time of fellowship.

Additional special services during the year include Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Christmas Eve, Easter Sunrise and an Ecumenical Epiphany service.

Linda loves Hampton! Growing up in North Beach as a young child during the summers with her Mother and grandparents, her dream was to live on the Seacoast. After her recent retirement from the public schools in Massachusetts she relocated to Hampton. She loves spending time with her family, traveling, walking the beach and gardening. She is very excited to be part of the FCC community.
