This page is currently under preparation, but will ultimately (in a few weeks) offer the names, addresses, phone numbers, email, website info, clergy names, schedule and summary of that congregation's focus or beliefs for every religious organization within 15 miles or so of downtown Keene. We will indicate which groups we are personally familar with, and which ones we are connected to, but no judgments are being placed on the relative merits of any organization listed. We will try to list EVERY one we know about.
Founding Partners
When we first opened our doors in 1963, four churches stood in partnership with us. All four are still friends and as charter members of our organization, they are all represented on our Board of Directors. Over the years, many other churches have shared in this ministry, some by support, others by participation in our programs or events, still others by prayer and personal resources. All have become friends and we truly feel that this ministry is shared by the whole church. Keene is a community that values the connectedness represented by this kind of ministry, and so we happily share information about our partners and other churches in the region!
