Hopewell Methodist Church strives to be "The light at the light." Hopewell continues to be a presence within the community sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and serving the least of these. Hopewell Church is privileged to host ministry groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Kairos Prison Ministries, the Richmond Emmaus Community, and Cub Scout Pack 2835.
Getting its start from very humble beginnings, Hopewell Methodist Church was planted in 1813. Through prayer, patience, and faith, the members of Hopewell Methodist Church began constructing its first building in 1853 which was not completed until after the Civil War.

Hopewell Methodist Church continued to grow into the church God had called her to be. In 1947, the church embraced the modern conveniences coming available and added electricity to the church. In 1950, four new classrooms were added to accommodate the growing membership. These were just the beginning of the many adaptations the church and its members underwent as the modern era continued to unfold.

We boldly march forward as a congregation – trusting God’s grace to help us to be faithful. It is our fervent prayer that those who come after us find us faithful. May the footsteps that we leave lead them to believe, and the life we live inspire them to obedient discipleship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
