The church was wired for electricity in 1947 when the Power Company extended service to the Five Forks area. 

In 1950, four classrooms were built onto the back of the church at a total cost of $3,200.  The rooms were dedicated on Sunday, April 30, 1950, with Rev. 957 L. Baird, pastor, presiding.  The Rev. Jack W. Unruh was the last pastor to serve the seven-point charge. 

In 1956, two churches were taken off the Chesterfield Charge to create a new one. 
In 1957, two more churches branched off from another Charge. This created a Charge consisting of Hopewell, Trinity, and Mt. Gilead churches.    

In 1958, the finance system Every Member Canvas System was started at Hopewell, and the church began using envelopes to give pledged funds. Prior to that time, each steward was assigned a certain number of members, and he collected from them each month for the minister’s salary. When the Rev. Raymond Lawrence came on the Charge, he rented a home for a parsonage on Courthouse Road near Hopewell Church. It was owned by Mr. Stoney Bradbury.  

In 1960, additional classrooms, kitchens, and restrooms were added to the church along with a central heating system at the cost of $8,000. 

In March 1961, the new brick parsonage was completed on the site across from where the Hopewell School had stood.  

On March 20, 1966, a new sanctuary capable of seating 250 people, with new classrooms, a pastor’s study, and furnishings was consecrated. The old building was used as an educational building. 

In June 1968 the Chesterfield Charge was split and Hopewell Church became a station church (a pastoral charge comprising only one local church) with Rev. Kirk Mariner as pastor.  

In 1970, VDOT purchased one acre of the old school tract with the parsonage.  The church, in turn, purchased the building and moved it to its present site, and added a basement.  Work was completed in 1972.  

In the Conference of 1977-78, Hopewell and Centenary Churches were joined from a new charge, but the following year, Hopewell became a station church again. a new cornerstone was laid. 

In 1981, Education Wing was consecrated and the new cornerstone was laid.  The debt on this building was retired in 1983, during the pastorate of The Rev. Bill Bare.  The old frame building was removed in 1984 due to termites.  

In 1983, The Rev. Thomas Dunkum was sent to the church and served the longest period of time since 1868.   

In 1991, a new wing was added to the building.  The addition consists of a kitchen, fellowship hall, rest rooms, and connecting foyers, along with office and classroom space.
