Comments:   New Hope Baptist Church is an African-American church organized in 1875 and located at 7725 Porters Rd. in Esmont Virginia.  The church's first pastor was Elder Joseph Cary according to the church's cornerstone.

The New Hope Baptist Church property also contains its cemetery consisting of over 153 gravestones.  This church cemetery borders the cemetery of New Green Mountain Baptist Church, though New Green Mountain's church building is now located two miles north of its cemetery.

Scottsville Museum wishes to thank Maxwell Johnson for his research and photographs on this Esmont community church!
