MT. Pleasant dates back to 1878 when the original

building was erected by members and friends.

The land, one acre, more or less, was bought from

William Beatty and Lydia J. Beatty, his wife, for the

sum of $50.00. Prior to 1878, MT. Pleasant

members met in the Mountain Schoolhouse. A

longtime member of the church, Mrs. Goodhart,

served as the church treasurer when the original

church was erected and for years afterward. On

the completion of the edifice, Mrs. Goodhart was

accorded the pleasure of naming the church and

the name she selected was "Mount Pleasant".

 

In 1958, Henry King and Mae King, his wife,

donated two acres, more or less, on the other side

of Rt. 663 to the Trustees of MT. Pleasant Church.

Shortly thereafter the congregation began work

on the present building which includes the

sanctuary, classrooms, rest rooms, kitchen and

social hall. The old church was torn down after

completion of the new one.
