The Wolfeboro Centre Community Church (also known as the Union Meeting House, First Christian Society, and Second Christian Church) is a historic church on NH 109 in Wolfeboro Center, New Hampshire. The single-story wood frame building was built in 1841 to house the religious activities of two congregations. One was a Free Will Baptist congregation established in 1780, the other was a Congregational group established in 1803. The building is one of the least-altered 19th-century community churches in eastern New Hampshire. Its interior consists of a single auditorium, with a dais at the front (between the two front doors), and rows of pews facing it.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
