Center Meeting House

The Center Meeting House of Newbury, NH, is a new organization for an old building.  It was formed in 2005 as a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization. The Board of Directors owns the Center Meeting House on behalf of citizens who pay as little as $10 to become members, and is currently overseeing the efforts to carefully and lovingly restore this beautiful building. These Directors are elected for three year terms by the members of this organization.  Everyone is invited to become a member.  Come and join us in this great adventure unfolding in the Town of Newbury, NH.

Mission Statement

Our purpose is to restore the Center Meeting House to its former glory, and to ensure that the restoration will last and be aesthetically pleasing by using the highest quality workmanship and materials available.

Vision Statement

It is our Vision to conserve the Center Meeting House for future generations and to make it a center for activities that will unite and enrich our community.

The impact of our Mission and Vision statements will be a building that is not only secure for another two centuries, but one which also plays a central role in the lives of our citizens and their families.

We expect that the Center Meeting House will:

• Be as it was architecturally
• Be the heart of our community
• Connect us to our forefathers
• Host cultural, social and family events
• Encourage the exchange of ideas
• Unite and enrich us in this beautiful town of Newbury, NH
