History of the UU Church of Nashua
The Unitarian-Universalist Church of Nashua was founded in 1826 as the First Congregational Society in Dunstable, now Nashua. The sanctuary of our present building was dedicated the following year. The First Universalist Society was founded in 1818, and during the 1830s, the two congregations worshiped together. The UUCN Parish House, which houses our dining room, auditorium, fellowship room, and youth room, was completed in 1929.
In 1956, the Unitarian and Universalist congregations merged to form UUCN. Proceeds from the sale of the Universalist Church and parsonage and several generous gifts enabled us to construct the religious education and office wing. This building also houses the Children’s Winter Garden and White Wing School.
Reverend Donald W. Rowley was our minister from 1958 until 1987; Reverend Stephen D. Edington led the congregation from 1988 until 2012.
