The First Free Will Baptist Church is a historic church on Granite Road in Ossipee, New Hampshire. The wood-frame white clapboarded building was built in 1856-57, and is a fine local example of a vernacular Greek Revival country church. It was built for a congregation of the Free Will Baptists that had until then been using the Early Settlers Meeting House in Leightons Corner. Construction of the building was supervised by Joseph Nutter, one of the parishioners. The building was actively used for services until about 1920. The building remains in the hands of the society originally established for its upkeep, and has seen only modest alterations, such as the introduction of electric lighting.[2]

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