Organized in 1827, the Bethesda church and its cemetery lie within the boundaries of the Hopewell Village National Historic Site in the northwestern corner of Warwick township.

During the most productive period of operations at Hopewell Furnace, Bethesda Church served as a meeting place for religious services of many of its residents. The church nestles in the southeast corner of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, a little more than a mile east of the furnace.

The early history of Bethesda Church is somewhat vague and has been obscured by time and lack of written documentation.
