New
Hope Baptist Church began its ministry on August 4th, 1955. The
group of about 40 expressed their intentions to organize as a
mission with the hope that this effort would become a Baptist work.
At that time it was identified as the "New Hope Baptist Mission." It
was first located at 1965 Wyoming.
Then
in 1957 the church traded locations to 2865 McNair. ( The Old McNair
Theatre Building). The adjoining property was torn down at 2865
mcNair which was condemned soon after the church purchased it. An
empty store building directly across McNair was rented for Sunday
School, and prayer meeting services while plans for building an
educational building was being consumated.
The
educational building was started in 1963, and finished in 1964.
During 1969 thru 1979 the Main auditorium was added on top of the
educational building. The Old McNair building was removed, and a
parking lot was added.
In
1979 their were 316 members with 117 resident, and 199 non-resident.
This ends a short history of the church in the early years.
Today,
New Hope Baptist Church still ministers to the community spreading
the Good News of the Love of Christ to all. Do you know Jesus as
your personal Savior ?? And by excepting, and believing that he is
the son of God, and you inherit the gift of Life Eternal. Come visit
us, all are welcome....

History and Overview:
Since
1967, Joint Neighborhood Ministry has delivered services to
low-income families in the Benton Park Neighborhood in south St.
Louis, a melting pot of races, religions, and economic classes. Over
half of the people served are children. Over half of the families
assisted do not have automobiles, lack telephone service, have
underemployed or unemployed adults, lack high school diplomas, and
have average income levels between $500 and $600 per month.
Joint
Neighborhood Ministry (JNM) is a not-for-profit corporation which
continues the outreach work begun by Curby Memorial Presbyterian
Church, Epiphany United Church of Christ, and St. Marcus United
Church of Christ in St. Louis, Missouri. JNM is supported by the
Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy, the United Church of Christ,
numerous church congregations, and many generous individuals and
groups. JNM responds to the needs of many by combining the power of
its paid staff and many volunteers from its supporting churches and
the community it serves. JNM's services are available to all
low-income families, without discrimination based upon race, gender,
or religious beliefs. JNM cooperates with many other ministries and
agencies in the St. Louis metropolitan area in establishing and
maintaining programs to benefit low-income families.
