The Centre Congregational Church is a historic Congregational Church on Province Road (New Hampshire Route 107), just west of its junction with New Hampshire Route 140, in the center of Gilmanton, New Hampshire. The wood frame church was built in 1826-27, and exhibits late Federal styling. Its main block is rectangular, with an unusually deep entrance pavilion topped by a full pediment and two-stage square belltower. The main entrance is a large double door flanked by paired columns, supporting an entablature and projecting cornice. It is flanked by a pair of large arched windows, and there is a recessed molded panel with a decorative swag above the doorway. The belltower's first stage is a simple square clapboarded section, and the second stage with corner pilasters and arched louvers.[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
