The Church at PortsmouthPortsmouth, New Hampshire
One Church. Many congregations.
Paul wrote to the church at Corinth: one letter to one Church in one city that met in many households. Portsmouth has dozens of congregations, gathering in Downtown, the South End, the North End, Christian Shore, the West End, and Atlantic Heights and beyond. We are building one place that shows who the Church in Portsmouth is.
What is coming
Three things, kept plainly and kept current.
The Church at Worcester already does this for its city. Portsmouth gets the same three things.
A directory
Every congregation in Portsmouth that confesses Jesus Christ as Lord, with its tradition, language, neighborhood, and meeting times. It is a census, not a ranking.
See Worcester's directory →A prayer map
A page for each neighborhood, listing who gathers there and what to ask God for. Portsmouth is a set of real places, including Downtown, the South End, and the North End.

133.church
Return to the Altar. Prepare the Bride. One Church, one Bride, one Lord. 133.church publishes teaching and writing that calls the Church back to the presence of God, to holiness, to prayer, and to one another.
What this is not
This is not a church you can attend. It has no service, no membership, no offering plate, and no pastor of "The Church at Portsmouth." If you are looking for a place to worship on Sunday, the directory will help you find one.
Do you pray for Portsmouth, or do you keep a list of its churches? We would like to hear from you.
Six cities, one road
A circuit, like the letters of Revelation
The seven churches of Revelation sat on one Roman road loop, about a day or two's travel apart. These six New England cities form the same kind of ring.
