Organized circa 1836 as New Hope Baptist Church, this congregation stood on ground given in 1841 by Wilks Brooks, whose family was active in the life of the church for many years. The original building was burned in 1862 when Federal forces had command of the community. The present building was constructed at the same location in 1870.
