New Hope Primitive Baptist Church was constituted in July 1830. The Presbytery officiating were Wilson Conner, David Word and Jordan Baker. Minutes of the church for the first 12 years were lost and there is no record of charter members but the church roll of March 5, 1842 lists 53, many of them pioneers of this section. It was in New Hope Baptist that the division of the Primitive Baptist denomination occurred when some withdrew and formed a Missionary Baptist Church. The Rev. Richard M. Tucker was the first recorded pastor in 1842. George R. Reid as clerk in 1842.
