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.
