The Hope Weslyan Church is located on Grant Avenue, in Fowler, Indiana, it used to be known as the Weslyan Methodist Church of Fowler.
Various sources online, including the Weslyan Church website (
visit link) list a website, that apparently is no longer active, for this church. I searched and found a copy of their old website on Archive.Org (

Information from that page:-
"Hope Wesleyan was founded in 1894 as the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Fowler. Our present building was dedicated in 1950 and is a country-style red brick church with stained glass on the corner of N. Grant Avenue & E. 3rd Streets in the northeastern corner of Fowler. We are a congregation of the Indiana Central District of the Wesleyan Church. "
According to their Facebook about me page, the church was founded in 1894. (
