Message from Pastor Michael Graham...
Churches come in a variety of shapes and sizes; what makes each place unique is the people gathered.
Churches are one of the few institutions where people of all ages play an important role. We share life toge
ther and make the passage from childhood to adulthood in the presence of others. How wonderful it is to make the passage through life with people who care for you. I love the intergenerational flavor of the Gilford Community Church; where young and old regularly come together, where children aren’t spoken "to" but are invited to join in the wonderful conversation of faith. The enthusiasm of our children, the idealism of our youth and young adults, and the wisdom of our elders, all blend together to make this a vibrant, hope-filled community.

Input from the Expansion Committee
The Expansion Committee closes the year 2007 with the town permitting process completed. We feel we have an exterior design for the expanded church and the youth facility that meets the tests of “does it properly fit in our neighborhood?” and, from your thoughtful comments, the taste of our congregation.
