The First Congregational Church of Meredith’s Mission Board is a vibrant group of caring individuals whose contributions are felt both locally and nationally as well as around the world. Our team consists of longtime members working alongside new members who come together to do Christ’s work. Meetings are on the second Tuesday evening of each month where members share in making each mission project a success. New members to our board are always welcome.
