The United Church of Penacook, accessible from many major roads, is conveniently located in the center of the Village of Penacook at the corner of Merrimack Street and Community Drive. Parking lots behind the church can be entered from Community Drive and East Street. We are happy to share our facilities for both community and private functions.


Sanctuary

A traditional church sanctuary with rich colors, beautiful stain glass windows, stately woodwork, and high ceiling. Eleven rows of padded wooden pews divided by a center aisle easily accommodate up to 300 people.

A wheelchair ramp at the front entrance allows easy access to the Narthex (lobby) and Sanctuary.

This space is ideal for weddings, memorial services, musical rehearsals, recitals and concerts, conferences, and lectures.

No food or drink is allowed in this space.
