History: Mount Hope Christian church was organized about 1840. It passed through many vicissitudes, and recently nearly lost its individuality. It was reorganized by Rev. B. A. Cooper in 1875; has now a respectable membership (in 1884), and is erecting a house of worship. Cooper and Garland are the officiating pastors.
