Love Hope Baptist Church

   The First Christian Church on the corner of Fourth Street and Wayne Avenue was originally a wooden building with the large open steeple towering over the houses of the area. The church was built and dedicated in 1901 and F.F. Schultz served as Minister. The wooden structure was replaced by the current brick church in 1927. The first Christian Church continued to worship at the location into the 1990’s until moving into their current location.
     Love Hope Baptist Church was previously located on Beaver Avenue where McElwains is located today before moving to the corner of Wayne Avenue. It has been nearly ten years since the Baptist Church moved from Beaver Avenue and into the large brick church with dozens of stain glass windows. Both First Christian and Love Hope continue to meet in Ellwood City and be a presence in the community. Please leave a comment below or email us at info@ellwoodcitymemories.com
