The first church edifice erected in Hopewell township was a log building, which stood on the site now occupied by the Yellow Creek Reformed church. It was a union church, built by general subscription. It was probably erected as early as 1826, as there are gravestones in the churchyard bearing that date. The building passed into the ownership of the Reformed congregation, which in 1843 erected the stone church now standing (in 1884). The church belongs to the Pattonville charge.
