Emmanuel Church is a small, wooden, shingle-style center aisle church built in 1882 to serve the summer residents of Dublin and vicinity. It is one of two summer chapels in the state on the National Register of Historic Places. Pews seat approximately 120 people. Of special interest are the stained glass windows, some of which are original Tiffany stained glass. Emmanuel calls two priests-in-residence each summer (one in July, one in August) who reside in the adjacent rectory. The church has an organist and a small pipe organ.

St. Andrew’s-by-the-Sea is only steps away from the ocean, right off Ocean Boulevard in Rye Beach. It is one of two summer chapels in the state on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was completed in 1877. The architecture and lych gate for carriages were inspired by English country churches. St. Andrew’s takes an active role in its Seacoast community and beyond by being supporters of organizations focused on the needs of vulnerable children and families struggling with homelessness, hunger, domestic violence, and abuse. The chapel also hosts a summer concert series and an annual Christmas event, Candlelight Caroling.
