In New Hampshire, 58% of residents consider themselves to be Protestant (30%), Catholic (26%), or identify with another unspecified Christian group (2%).
Denominations
New Hampshire, like most states, is home to many denominations of the Christian faith. The largest denomination by number of churches in New Hampshire is Catholicism. New Hampshire also has a sizeable representation of various protestant denominations including Pentecostal, Baptist, Church of Christ, Non-Denominational, and many other denominations.
Anabaptism
Anabaptism in New Hampshire appears to be rare, although there are some churches which call themselves Mennonite, a type of Anabaptism. There seems to have been a recent attempt to build a Mennonite school in 2018. Many Anabaptists in New Hampshire meet and worship in their homes rather than in a church.
Mennonite Conference USA
The largest American Anabaptist denomination, the Mennonite Conference USA, has no churches in New Hampshire (the closest are located in Vermont). The Mennonite Conference USA are progressive church, officiating gay marriages.
Other Mennonites
There is one unaffiliated Mennonite church located in Charlestown New Hampshire. It may or may not also serve as a school for plain Mennonite children. It is a small church with no website. It is likely to be much more conservative, as it is a 'plain' school and church.

Congregationalism
Congregationalism is a group that, along with the Presbyterians, descend from the Puritans and Pilgrims of New England. For most of its history, Congregationalism was represented in the North American Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC), until they merged with the United Church of Christ (UCC). In the wake of this merge, two denominations split from the NACCC. The NACCC is considered a mainline denomination, although it was one of the latest to form and one of the shortest lived as it was absorbed into the UCC.
National Association of Congregational Christian Churches
The National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC) split from the North American Congregational Christian Churches (also NACCC). The split was over issues of congregational concern, such as local autonomy and leaving people behind. It is a highly decentralized denomination, in which each congregation may set most of their own rules and, to an extent, define doctrine or theology. They have 7 churches in New Hampshire.

United Methodist Church
The United Methodist Church (UMC) has 67 churches in New Hampshire. It is one of the historical mainline churches. While it is a very progressive church in the United States, there is local variability in the degree of progressivism. Most of the conservatives in the UMC come from African and Asian nations, so in practice the US-based UMC churches are extremely progressive despite the more moderate position of the denomination as a whole. It has undergone recent splits due to progressive theological and political issues.
Non-Denominational Churches
A noteworthy portion of churches are non-denominational, at 6.2%. Many such churches likely exist in New Hampshire and can have a great variety of creeds, theologies, and politics.
