New Christ Church Mailing Address
PO Box 118 Greenland, NH 03840
The reason for this mailing address change is twofold. First, once construction begins on the Christ Church campus the end of this year, we will not have access to our locked mailbox, so we want our new mailing address already established by then. Also, the Portsmouth Post Office has a narrow range of hours for access to PO boxes, but Greenland access to PO boxes is 24/7/36 so it all makes sense.
OUR CHURCH HAS NOT AND IS NOT MOVED TO GREENLAND!

A Pilgrimage
We are now off of our chruch site on Lafayette Rd. for about 12-18 months during the construction to develop our property into our new worship space, new workforce housing, the offices of HAVEN, and a new daycare facility.
During our Pilgrimage away from our property we will make Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Newington our home for worship. Details of worship are above.
During our Pilgrimage we will use this time to enhance our spiritual life and to begin visioning what our new ministries within our new worship space and our new community will look like.
We strive to live the call of Christ, immersed in justice, compassion, and reconciliation in all that we are and do.
Who We Are
We are a spiritually centered, diverse and inclusive community of seekers growing together in worship, social justice mission, study and fellowship. We have been newly designated a “Gospel Oriented Community” in the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, part of The Episcopal Church, a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
Where We Are; Where We’re Going
We live in a liminal space of expectation. Our 4-acre site on Route 1 is in the early stages of being redeveloped into a campus comprised of four partners: Christ Church, which has a history that stretches back to the mid-19th century; Haven, New Hampshire’s largest agency serving victims of domestic and sexual violence; a day care center; and workforce housing administered by the Portsmouth Housing Authority. We are located between Route 1 and the Urban Forestry Center, near the Sagamore Creek, with all its natural beauty and walking trails. An 18th century slave burial ground, an historical site, is located on our grounds.
Celebrate with us in, with, and through Christ, as we celebrate the lives of women in biblical literature, as we strive for the full equality of all women in our time, as we work for justice, compassion, and reconciliation for all of life.
