Tom Risinger donated 3 acres for the church to be constructed. This was done in 1888 with Steve Beaird helping with the construction. Rev Henry Gathright was pastor and 15 new members were added that year. In 1908 the 1st building was moved back and used as a school.

Since MTUBC creation, there has been 29 pastors and 1 youth minister. This church has truly been a light through which many have found their way to Jesus Christ as their personal Savior down through the years.
