Organized on September 22, 1855, with 15 charter members in the New Hope community 4 miles northwest, New Hope Missionary Baptist Church held monthly meetings in a one-room log school. The building, with 2 acres of land, was given to the church in 1872. A new sanctuary erected in 1883 was torn down and rebuilt at Crossroads community 2 miles northwest in 1914. In 1950 the church purchased an acre of land at the present site. A new building was erected, again using lumber from the old structure. Many present members are descendants of the people who composed the original congregation.
