| Greetings!
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We are
the members of The Rockingham Church Music Ministry. In
the fall of 2000 The Rockingham Church was started with
a core group from St. Matthews UMC as its sister church.
In that time we have seen the core group of 20 expand to
over 200 each week and two services. Also in that time,
we have changed rental spaces twice while searching for
our own land. In 2006 we purchased 10 acres of land in Plaistow,
NH and construction began. It has been a long process in
that every step required funds to be available for the next
step.
We are optimistic that we will be moving in to our building
soon as framing the inside of the church has begun.
