Hopewell Baptist Church is one of Edmond's stranger architectural stories, a mid-century church built with an expressive, almost teepee-like profile. It has attracted attention from preservationists and curious drivers because it looks so unlike the plain churches scattered across suburban Oklahoma.
Treat it respectfully as a historic religious building rather than a ruin to explore. Its appeal is the exterior form and the way it captures a very specific moment in Oklahoma roadside architecture.
