Perhaps there aren't any reformed churches in the southwest corner of New Hampshire, or the southeast corner of Vermont, or the north central part of Massachusetts but perhaps somebody knows of a bible study group in this area that might develop into a church. Any ideas?

I can also offer churches in Gardner, Greenfield, Millers Falls and Winchendon in MA if they would be closer.
I emailed Jason from the Merrimack church but, that is too far unfortunately. I will look into Trinity as it is only 45 minutes away. What have you found in Winchendon? it is also 45 +/- from here. Jaffrey is an hour on a good day (i.e. not in winter).
Pilgrim has planted a church in New Hampshire before, perhaps he would like to start one in Keene? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
What do you say, Pilgrim? We could hold the ordination ceremony on top of Tuckermine ravine and race down afterwards. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" />
That's almost tempting! But I'd be hard pressed to choose which would be most frightening; 1) Returning to N.H. to plant another church? or 2) Strapping on a pair of skiis and screaming down Tuckerman's Ravine? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />
I believe that I have found that Reformed church near you, with the pastor who was recommended to me by another pastor whose opinion I highly regard. Here it is:
Westmoreland Reformed Bible Church
Denomination: Independent Reformed Indexed: Sun Dec 21 09:02:42 2003 Address: Route 12 Mail Address: 33 Capron Rd City: Westmoreland, State: Nh. Zip: 03467 Pastor: Ken Sanders E-mail: kcsrbc@hotmail.com Phone: 603.399.7213 Information: Amillennial eschatology - Ruralcongregation,manyhomeschooling
It's only about 11 miles from Keene. May the Lord bless your search.
Thank you very much. I sent him an email and look forward to finding out more about this church. I've also contacted the reformed baptist church in Winchendon. So, now even though its a bit of a drive, there are at least some possibilites. Thanks.
I can't tell you just how happy I am that I was directed to the Westmoreland Reformed Bible Church. Thanks to this church locator here, I have found a church that has become my church home. Thank you and thanks to God for His providence in leading me to this church. I have been attending since last winter and have found the teaching to be faithful to the word of God and the fellowship warm and sweet. It is a real joy to worship with these folk.
We are located in the heart of New England so if you happen to be visiting in the area, please do join us for worship. You may just want to stay.
Praise God for providing you with a good church home. In the past, I've known the feeling of not having one all too well. I'm rejoicing with you!

Today, I was going through some old emails and I came across one that I wrote on February 16, 2004 to the church that I am now attending and as of today am starting the process of becoming a member. It is thanks to this forum that I found this church. The Lord has provided a wonderful church and I am blessed for having become part of it. I look forward to becoming a member of the Reformed Bible Church in Westmoreland, NH.
That's wonderful news! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/joy.gif" alt="" /> And thanks for taking the time to return to this thread with an update on how God providentially provided for your heart's yearning.
I'm so happy for you, sis <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
May God grant you many opportunities to serve in your new church, and may the Lord grant to you and your new church wisdom and unity as you covenant together to glorify God and build one another up in love.

If I ever get to your corner of New Hampshire do you think I could find a Dispensational church in that neck of the woods? I remember what Oswald T. Allis said in his book, Prophecy and the Church 1943, '...dispensationalism is legion today...'. However I don't know if that is true now especially in your part of New Hampshire. I might be disappointed to find none of them around.
