The Free Will Baptist Church is a historic church on Ridge Top Road in New Durham, New Hampshire. The single-story wood-frame church was built in 1819, and is considered the mother church of the Free Will Baptist movement. It was in this area that Benjamin Randall rose to prominence, the founder of the movement, rose to prominence and, who was disfellowshipped by more conventional Baptists for his objections to certain Calvinist teachings. The first organizational meetings of the Free Will Baptists took place in New Durham in 1780; this church was built eleven years after Randall's death. It features modest Greek Revival and Italianate detailing, including corner pilasters, and a single central door flanked by pilasters and topped by a simple entablature. The two-stage tower was added in 1869; its detailing, including a box cornice and Italianate brackets, echo details on the main block.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
