     James gave land for building the New Hopewell Babtist Church in about 1836. Location of the first church building was only a few yards from the schoolhouse where the church was first organized on this land donated by James. It was considered a rather grand buildng for that day since it was a frame structure as opposed to logs. The church had one extra large room, and the ceiling was rather low. There were two doors in the front end of the building, one for the men and the other for the women. It was the custom in those days for the men to sit on one side of the church and the women to sit on the other side. There was a door in the center of one of the sides to be used by the preachers and a door in the back end of the building which gave easy access to the cemetery and to the wood supply for a big stove. The pulpit was built rather high and had several steps to climb. The building was lighted with candles which the members made at home and brought to the services. The services usually started at early candle-lighting time.

     As the population of the area grew, the little school house next door soon became to small to accomodate all of the children and the new church building served as a school during the week and a church on the week ends. This first building lasted until a second building was built in 1880-1882.
