In 1906 a small group of Wesleyan Methodists began meeting in private homes on the south side of New Castle. A building was soon erected on Lyndal Street and later became known as the First Wesleyan Methodist Church. In December 1963 the church was severely damaged in a fire – and was sold a few months later. The congregation soon occupied the completed basement of an abandoned church project on Pulaski Road. The property was formally acquired in the coming months and a new church (shown above) was dedicated at that location on Sunday, April 18, 1965. The congregation was reorganized as the First Wesleyan Church after a national merger in June 1968 – but a portion of its members split off to form another church. The church was enlarged with a new education wing in 1984. It was renamed as the New Hope Wesleyan Church in October 2005 and is still in service today. (Jul 2013) Full Size |
