Brief History: 
The New Hope Huttonville Church

The New Hope Huttonville Baptist Church was organized in 1865 by Brother Joe Hutton Sr., and a Minister by the name of Maundy.  Brother Hutton started having  prayer meetings from house to house and from there he and Reverend Maundy, along with the few men and women members started the little Church and named it “New Hope Huttonville,” and their first church was a little log cabin about one mile from the present church.  They held church and school in this little log cabin and later they built a small house out of oak lumber one mile east of where the cabin was located.  It burned down and they built another one; and somehow it also burned.

Mrs. Louise Grayson gave one acre of land on the north west corner of her land for a church which is located six miles west and two miles north of Eufaula.  They built on this land, and in 1931 that church burned.  They built another one and it is still standing.  As the community grew, the church grew to about 150 members or more.

Some past ministers who pastored the church are Revernds:  Maundy, Hammond, A. Harrison, Bryant, Courite, Pancel, I.W. Holts, Dan Harris (who pastored four terms), Rev. C. Gilkey, G.H. Paul., Dan Harper (pastored three different times), Albert Louis Lowe.
