The people of Community Christian Fellowship (CCF) want to make a difference in the world. We think the best way to do that is by following the model of the life of Jesus. “Being like Jesus” is the goal behind everything we do as a community.

To arrive at that goal, we do three things when we get together on Sunday nights. First, we sing songs that focus our attention on who Jesus is. The second thing is to study the life of Jesus and other people in the Bible to see how they made decisions, what their priorities were and how they spent their time. The third things we do is reflect, meditate and pray. This third step helps us understand how we can take what we learn from the life of Jesus and apply it to our own lives.

We think we learn best in a community of families, so we are informal and flexible. We understand that kids make noise and we are good with that. We know teens want to be rowdy, so we plan time for fun and games before our meetings. We try to have coffee at every meeting, if we can find someone who will remember to bring it. Most of all, we want to be comfortable as we learn, and we want others to be comfortable as well. We enjoy being together, and hope we can make some new friends in the process.

Meetings usually last between 50 minutes and an hour. For now, we are meeting in the Henniker Community Center, top floor. Dan Whitney is serving as the leader of our group. He and his family have lived in Henniker for going on eight years now. If you have questions about the group or the meetings, please contact him at dandewhit1@comcast.net. We hope you will stop in and visit some time!

Dan and Nancy Whitney moved to Henniker in the summer of 2002. Dan works as the Executive Director of Windsor Hills Camp and Retreat Center (Windsor, NH) and Nancy is a school teacher in a local elementary school.

Since college graduation, they have served churches in Michigan, Virginia, New York and Rhode Island. Most of that time has been spent heavily invested in ministry to children and teens.

Dan is a musician who enjoys artistic expression, reading, fishing and fantasy football. Nancy, also very musical, loves children’s literature and the Boston Red Sox. Together, with their family, they think that Henniker is the friendliest town in which they have ever lived.

Dan and Nancy hope that CCF can be a place where people find friendship and meaning, along with companions on the journey.

“We want to honor God, live well, raise our children well, make a positive difference in our town, and be good citizens of the world.”
