Concerning the Reopening of KCPC

2021 could not have arrived soon enough!  We are each ready for the pandemic to end and news regarding the COVID-19 vaccinations provides hopeful anticipation.  However, until we reach what is called "herd immunity," we must continue to do our part, as individuals and collectively as a community of faith, to keep the pandemic contained.   

The continued increase in the infection rate, hospitalizations and deaths remains problematic.  For these reasons, we still cannot guarantee the safety and wellbeing of individuals if we were to host in-person worship or hold other activities at the church.  We will continue to keep the building closed and do our part for the health and safety of our congregation and the greater community to stem the spread of COVID-19.

In January, a small team began meeting virtually to plan for the eventual re-opening of KCPC.  While an initial plan was drawn up this fall, it was not implemented due to the increase in infection rate.  The original plan, along with the latest information and factors, will shape a revised KCPC reopening plan.  When finalized it must be safe and consider the limitations of our building and congregation.

When will we reopen?  We do not know.  We need to watch and monitor the success and effectiveness of the vaccines and clearly see a significant reduction in the infection rate and the incidence of new cases.  Thank you for your patience, understanding and support.

Pew Renovation:
Worship took place in Foulkes Hall for the first time in the History of KCPC

This was the first time the congregation had ever worshiped in Foulkes Hall.  It had snowed overnight and driving conditions kept many people home that morning.  Ultimately it was a very pleasant experience.

KCPC is a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the Presbytery of Northern New England (PNNE).  While we are few in number in the New England region, there are about 2 million of us across our country.  We are part of the "Reformed Tradition" or that stream of the Protestant church developed in the 1600s by John Calvin in Geneva, Switzerland.  If you would like to learn more about the Presbyterian Church, please visit: Presbyterian 101

Our congregation was organized in the early 1980s by a group of Presbyterians who longed for a church of their own.  This group initially met to worship in rented space at Colby-Sawyer College.  Since 1989 we have been located on King Hill Road in New London.

The name "Kearsarge Community" was chosen to reflect how our membership is drawn from a wide area.  We currently have participants residing as far away as Fairlee, VT, Hanover, Grafton, Goshen, Contoocook, Hopington, and Henniker.  Of course we also serve Springfield, Sutton, Wilmot, Sunapee, Andover, Newbury, Warner, and Bradford.

Worship Times:

We worship every Sunday morning and invite you to join us and experience the warmth of faith and fellowship as we grow in our relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  The Word of God is proclaimed each Sunday. 
Join us at one of these services:
  • The 8:15 Communion Service: 
"Come in Jeans at 8:15" is our motto.  This service includes the Lord's Supper each week.  The service is casual, informal, and intimate.
  • The 10:00 Traditional Service:
This hour long service is for people of all ages.  A mix from week to week of traditional hymns, praise music, adult choir, hand bell choir, prayers, singing and lots of children!  Our Sunday School meets for part of this hour. 

We're on Facebook & FaithStreet!
