Historic Hopeful Church and Cemetery Est. 1825

Pastor Tim Mullins of historic Hopeful Baptist Church in Fayette County is calling on everyone to try and help those in need. As a result a diverse group is coming together. The citizen group has created a yard sign they will sell with all profits going to help those in need. The group includes the Kiwanis, Fayette County News, Graphic Signs and others. More details to follow...

On the first Sunday of a new year and decade at Hopeful Church - what a beautiful start. Historic Hopeful has been been serving the community for 195 years.

Pastor Tim Mullins and Mrs. Faye Mullins wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2020.

HELP! Please Share. What: Please help historic Hopeful Baptist Church and Cemetery find witnesses to the accident that occurred at 6:55pm on Friday, September 6, 2019 at the intersection of GA92 and New Hope Road in Fayette County resulting in extensive damage most notably to the church’s sacred Christian burial site. Please contact us by email at: [email protected] Why: Allstate Insurance is refusing to pay for damages.... The extensive destruction and damage (professional estimates over $90,000) Allstate's Ms. Samina Habib caused to church and cemetery property is staggering. Allstate’s insured drove over 300 feet from point of first impact destroying and damaging property, most importantly 14 historic, headstones including ornate hand carved marble and granite markers. These headstones mark the sacred final resting places of Fayette pioneer families, veterans, and loved ones. Allstate’s insured was going so fast that after traveling hundreds of feet through a fence, sign post, cement seating, pillar and other non-moveable objects her car launched 400 pound Georgia white marble markers 100 feet and a 1,000 pound granite marker 50 feet through the air Allstate’s driver in broad daylight reported a mystery vehicle, not confirmed or supported by the evidence and information according to the police report, yet, it resulted in no tickets, for speeding, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane, crossing the centerline, damaging private property or a host of other potential charges. This is not the first time. The little historic church has three letters from three different insurance companies who have all refused to pay accident damages because no tickets were issued hence not their responsibility they say. In the first two Hopeful paid to have the damages repaired. However the small and mostly elderly congregation is in no position to pay this time. Sorry Allstate you need to fix the damage caused by your insured and stop floating the mystery vehicle story that can not be corroborated. Hopeful welcomes everyone, this Saturday, December 21, 2019 at noon if you want to come see for yourself the damage to this sacred Christian burial site.
