ABOUT
US
The Mount Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church was established in 1879. The earliest available records did not mention the First Pastor by name. The original church building, located at 2814 Lebanon Road, was built by hand by Mr. Jim and West Hockett. The land on which it was built was a gift from Mr. Andrew Price.
The first known pastor was Rev. G.K Wilson who led the church from 1905-1908. In 1926 Rev. Oscar Owens was called to lead the church. During the pastoral leadership of Rev Oscar Owens, the original building erected was moved to 210 Eddings Lane in Donelson Tn. The church worshiped at 210 Eddings Lane until the vision to move to Nashville was given. August 2nd 2003 was the Groundbreaking for 2911 Stokers Lane, this location is where members currently call home. In June of 2021 Rev. Larry Couch was elected to be interim pastor of Mount Hopewell Baptist Church.

FIND YOUR FAITH
Mount Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church is a multi generational congregation committed to spiritual growth and a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ. We are a Spirit led church grounded in the true Word of God and devoted to worship in spirit and truth
(John 4:24; 2 Timothy 3:16).
Scripture teaches that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), yet God demonstrated His love through Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and God raised Jesus again so that we might receive eternal life (Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4). Salvation is the gift of God, received by faith when we confess Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead
(Romans 6:23; Romans 10:9–10).
God desires all humanity to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth
(1 Timothy 2:3–4).
Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, Mount Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church shares the gospel through evangelism, discipleship, and community outreach, helping people find their faith, grow in their faith, and live out their faith in Jesus Christ
(Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 1:8).
Salvation Invitation: If you desire a new life in Christ, the Bible declares that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved
(Romans 10:13).
You can begin today by repenting of your sins, believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died and rose again, and confessing Him as Lord. Through faith in Jesus Christ, you are welcomed into God’s family and invited to walk in the newness of life
(Acts 2:38; 2 Corinthians 5:17).
