The history of Greater New Hope Missionary Baptist Church (GNHMBC) spans a period of 85 years.

The church was organized in 1938 by the late Reverend W.T. Bolden in his home on Annie Street. Reverend Bolden received a phone call which led to the purchase of the property at 1515 Kennedy Street Ft. Worth TX. 76102. Rev. Bolden served as pastor of the church for about 3 years.

In 1941, the late Reverend Bernard Hurd was called. Although his tenure as pastor was brief GNHMBC continued to remain faithful to God.

In the fall of 1942, the late Reverend Dr. L. P. Mitchell was called. Rev. Mitchell encouraged an extensive building program which included the completion of a totally remodeled sanctuary and the construction of an educational building. Rev. Mitchell served as a devoted pastor and leader for 25 years, until his health failed him.

Interim Pastor, Reverend Henry Rayford, presided until Reverend J. W. Brumfield was called. He served as pastor of the church for 2 years.

In March 1972, Reverend W. H. Miller was called to pastor GNHMBC. Rev. Miller was responsible for countless accomplishments.

On October 25,1980 at 2:30am, the church building located at 1515 Kennedy Street was destroyed by fire. Reverend Dr. T. H. Davis and the Rising Star Baptist Church Family graciously extended an invitation for us to worship in their facilities. GNHMBC held worship services at Rising Star Baptist Church for 8 weeks. In January 1981, the present facility located at 3920 East Rosedale Street was acquired. Rev. Miller worked with city officials to improve the area including the paving of East Rosedale Street. Many renovations and improvements were made, and blessings flowed abundantly.  The church was able to acquire the surrounding land and the building was bricked.

In September 1996 the church note was paid off. In December 2000, Rev. Miller’s Health failed him and he became Pastor Emeritus.

Reverend D. Bryan Ford served as Interim Pastor until January 2001 when he was called to pastor GNHMBC.

In November 2002 Reverend Ivy Haynes Jr. was called to pastor GNHMBC. Reverend Haynes was installed on April 13, 2003. Through the leadership and guidance of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Haynes was a great inspiration in spiritual growth of the members at GNHMBC. Pastor Haynes served as pastor/teacher for 14 years until The Lord called him home on October 9, 2016.

On June 25, 2017 Reginald Andrews was called to pastor GNHMBC, and was installed August 27, 2017. Through his faithfulness and dedication, God continues to bless GNHMBC with spiritual growth and a completely renovated church inside and outside.

God has provided all these great blessings to us for which we are grateful under the leadership of 9 pastors over an eighty-five-year history.
