Londonderry in the early 1800s was a quiet farming community. In 1829, LBC had its first church building (at right) built at "five corners" in northern Londonderry, where Litchfield Road, High Range Road and Hall Road meet. This modest meeting house was home for worship services for almost 80 years.

During the 1800s, membership periodically grew and declined, but had averaged under a hundred. Members were mostly rural folk. Most were farmers, tradesmen and their families.

When the railroad came through in the late 1800s, settlement grew near the station in north Londonderry. Members of LBC sought to have a church building located in this new and thriving population center, to be a beacon in the heart of the community. In 1894, the congregation's second building was finished. It was a bold presence, built in the then-popular "shingle Victorian" style.

During those years, LBC was on hand to participate in Londonderry's first "Old Home Days" celebration (1899). Those 1890s LBC members saw the dawn of the automobile age, and the invention of airplanes. They prayed for American servicemen during two World Wars, Korea and Vietnam.

In 1973, LBC built their third building a few miles south, on Mammoth Road. We continue to meet in this third building. Londonderry has changed from a rural farming community to a bedroom community for Manchester and Boston. Through it all, LBC has been there, and continues to worship Him in a small, family-style congregation.

Come and visit us. We're not big, but we're His, and He has kept us praising and praying together for over 200 years.
