Our History

Hopewell Presbyterian Church was organized prior to 1808 but no minutes were kept until then.  A log school-house was Hopewell’s first place of worship.  William Wherry, founder of the church, donated land where a large frame structure was built in 1845.  In 1897 a new building was erected near Lesslie Station after the railroad was projected to run from Camden to Rock Hill.  Sunday School rooms were added in 1954.
