The one-story, gable-front, rectangularly-massed vernacular church was built circa 1849 as a replacement for the original log building which burned in 1849. The Hopewell Church, although dissolved in 1981, is now part of Camp Hopewell, established in 1951 on the property. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places in part due to its being a rare example retaining original framing, weatherboard, windows, doors, and interior fittings including woodwork, floors, and piers. The Hopewell Presbyterian Church, located in what was formerly called Woodson’s Ridge, is in rural Lafayette County.
