The name Hopeville originated from an experience when Roger attended a gospel music concert featuring Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, and Kirk Franklin. This experience resonated so, he decided if he were to marry again he would choose the theme Hopeville. The concert Hopeville told a story of friendship and commitment between childhood friends from the remote town of “Hopeville”. Roger had no idea his bride-to-be name would be Hope. Hopeville is a promise fulfilled; symbolizing the merging of two different cities to create a meaningful Impact On The Earth.
