Church History
In The Beginning
Our bold new venture began in January 1981, when a faithful few met for worship service in the Richwood home of Willie and Cora Bolden. Although a temporary arrangement, God continued to bless our tiny flock with a weekly place in the fellowship hall of St. Michael’s Catholic Church. Then, two months later, in March, we moved our worship services to the Brazosport Hilton Inn in Lake Jackson with weekly auxiliary meetings held in various members’ homes.
After much prayer and guidance from God, our small congregation was led to formally organize a church. On the evening of April 7, 1981, the congregation of forty-seven men, women and children, met at True Honor Baptist Church in Clute and was officially organized as the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church. We called as pastor, Rev. George Abram, who served from 1981-1991. On July 7, 1981, the church charter was formally adopted.
With continual growth and with the Lord's blessings, we moved our worship services to the cafeteria of Bess Brannen School where we remained from 1982 until 1985
