During the year, Center Barnstead Christian Church offers various family gatherings.  There’s something in every season so you can look forward to several family events!

Snowshoe Hike

We plan a family event every winter where we snowshoe thru the woods and have bonfire warming stations along the way. Children’s snowshoes will be available for use. Sledding is always an option and we also go ice skating when the weather cooperates. These events are always festive and fun!  Mark your calendars and we will watch the weather!

Chili Cook Off

During the doldrums of winter we usually host our Chili Cook Off. This event brings us all out of hibernation for the big event!  Bring an empty stomach and your chili entries.  Anyone and everyone with an appetite is welcome to attend!  Our community showed up in large numbers in years past and we were thrilled to share a meal with you all! Attendees can sample the entries and see who is the new champ.  The trophy is one you’ll never forget and the winners will take home a cash prize!  Invite your friends and neighbors to this fun and filling community event.

Dessert Social

The Dessert Social is typically held the Tuesday before Thanksgiving at 6:30pm.  Bring a dessert to share if you are so inclined, and don’t forget to bring a big appetite! We trust that enjoying your time with us will be “easy as pie” or at the very least, “a piece of cake.”
