(Formerly First Baptist Church of Fisherville)
The First Baptist Church of Fisherville was organized over 150 years
ago. Construction was begun in 1857 and the church was finished and dedicated
on September 8, 1858.
An impressive structure 80 x 72 feet, on a basement story of granite was
erected at a cost of $18.500. The steeple enclosed a four-faced town clock
and a spire that towered 150 feet above the vestibule.
When the name of the town was changed from Fisherville to Penacook in
1883, the church conformed at its next annual meeting, becoming the First
Baptist Church of Penacook.
In 1953 The First Baptist Church and The Penacook Congregational Church
were united and became The United Church of Christ.
