While not a community like Little
Hope, Texas, in Wood
County, we include the Little Hope Baptist Church of Van
Zandt county just in case anyone is looking for it.
The Little Hope Baptist Church had a marker erected in 1993;
the text of which follows:
"This church was organized in 1893. The congregation met at the
Farmers Alliance Hall before building their first sanctuary in 1894.
Louis Manuel Parsons deeded over two acres, which included the newly
constructed building, to the church in 1896. A second sanctuary
was built in 1916 and replaced by a third church building in 1954.
A new facility containing an auditorium and baptistry was dedicated
here in 1981. This congregation continues its long tradition of
helping community members in need and supports various missionary
and outreach activities. (1993)"
