Church of the Week: Hopewell Presbyterian Church
Bill Segars has a strong love and appreciation for history, having grown up on a farm in Kelleytown on land that has been in the family since 1821.

Segars was able to find, photograph and research more than 750 religious edifices throughout the state. We are delighted to share his “Church of the Week” with our readers!
