The New Hope Baptist Church is the direct heir and proud descendant of Portsmouth's Pearl Street Church. The Pearl of Portsmouth is the only historic African-American church structure in the state of New Hampshire. Built in 1858 as a Freewill Baptists' Church, The Pearl was enlarged in 1868 by adding a new entry bay and steeple.

In 1915, Black members of the Seamen's Aid Society pooled their Navy pensions to help raise the $2000 it took to purchase the structure. It then became the home of People's Baptist Church, at that time the first and only Black congregation in the state. New Hope Baptist Church, the successor to People's Baptist, sold the building in 1984 and then built a new church, at 263 Peverly Hill Road, proudly paying off their mortgage in only eleven years.

The historic First Congregational Church, New Castle, was established in 1682.
