Begun as Concordia Church of Christ, this historic church first met when W. B. Young traveled from Bethel-Berry to preach at the old Burcham Valley School House. The congregation became known as the New Hope Church of Christ. Long-time members, including the family of William Brown Parish, gave the land on which the first building was erected in 1903. After being damaged in a storm, the building was rebuilt in 1913. The present facility was erected in 1960. Men and women who made outstanding contributions to churches and communities throughout the world had their roots in this congregation.
