COME WORSHIP WITH US!
Catch the Church Chair!
Time and Location
Summer 2025
June 29th - October 12th: Catch the church chair free on Sunday mornings at Snows Mountain. Load the Snows mountain double chair at 8:30 a.m. for a 9 a.m. outdoor service. Join us for an outdoor christian worship service in a natural amphitheater nestled in the trees on the top of Snows Mountain. Prefer to skip the chair lift? It’s also a fun and easy hike to the amphitheater.
We still meet during inclement weather in the lift house at the bottom of the mountain.
Sunday school with kids games and programming offered most weeks.
Winter
Late December through the end of ski season: Come worship with us around a solo stove campfire at 10 a.m. at the top of the Kinder Park/Lower Pasture Carpet.
The church service does not require skiing or snowboarding or a lift ticket to attend!
**Note that in 2025, there will be no Easter sunrise service at Waterville Valley, however stay tuned for details from Loon Mountain Ministry about the Easter sunrise service at Loon Mountain.
Our Story
In 2018 a few from the valley recognized the need for a church. A phone call was made to Loon Mountain Ministry, a resort church just up the road, to help cast the vision for a Waterville Valley worship service. That winter a small group gathered a few times and “Catch the Church Chair” was born. The movement continues to grow and the response has been encouraging and the work of the Lord is evident. Waterville Valley Community Church now meets weekly in the Summer and Winter with an incredible team of dedicated volunteers and guest speakers to teach worship together each week.
The Schroeders-
Randy, Marissa, Acadia, Willow and Laurel moved to New Hampshire the spring of 2021 from Colorado. They love Jesus, snowboarding, farming, hiking, cooking, hosting, and ministering to the ski resort culture. Randy is the national director of ministry for Snowboarders and Skiers for Christ.
Our Team
The Whites-
Troy, Brook, Rain, Eden, Ivey, Ryder, and Juju are staples of the local community. They live in Thornton and are dedicated to the good of their neighbors. From local business owners to active participation in the youth orchestra they make the people around them better. They love to travel, play music, and ride lawn tractors.
The Bucks-
Noah, Lydia, Judah and Shiloh are locals from Thornton. 98% of the time they love playing disk golf on the way down the mountain from Church chair. Along with swimming, hiking, and BBQing, they are super excited to be a part of the Waterville community this summer!

What God is Doing Here in the Valley
Last fall, we had a big ask for the Mountain Ministry family. We felt God calling us to purchase a condo in Waterville Valley so that we could have a year-round ministry presence in the community. God presented us with the opportunity to purchase a condo to do just that -- but we didn't have the funds to purchase it. Thanks to your incredible generosity, we were able to buy the condo this spring!
We're so excited to see how God will continue to lead and guide us as we seek His guidance and grow deeper roots in this community. Please join us in prayer as we look to see who God will bring to fill this space.
