Hope Community Church was established through the church revitalization process of Church Adoption. McElwain Baptist Church a once thriving church with thousands of members, had been faithfully serving its community for 125 years. Over the years, the church roll declined to 350 members with only 100 people in worship attendance. As Pastor Jacob Simmons states, "McElwain Baptist Church was a declining church, but not a dying church."  As a way to help the church revitalize, Shades Mountain Baptist Church, adopted McElwain Baptist and began a new work by establishing Hope Community Baptist Church.
