Our church, like many other churches, was born in a revival. This meeting was held at what was then known as Union School House by Rev. John Ruebush about 1972 or 1873. As a result of this meeting a local congregation was formed.

The first church, known as Mount Clinton United Brethren Chapel, was built under the leadership of Rev. J.W. Howe at a cost of $1300 and was dedicated by Bishop Charles Hott in December 1880. At different times Mt Clinton Church was on Singers Glen, West Rockingham, Dayton and Mt Clinton-Otterbein Circuits.

The present Mt Clinton Church was built in 1927 on a new site at a cost of $18000 and was dedicated on August 14, 1927 by Conference Superintendent J.H. Brunk, assisted by Rev. W.F. Gruver and the church pastor, Rev. William B. Obaugh. The cornerstone laying service had been held on May 8, 1927. The total membership at that time was 127.

Several attempts were made for tech uniting of The Evangelical Church and The United Brethren in Christ. The union took place in November 1946 and the two denominations became known as the Evangelical United Brethren Church.

In 1968 another union took place when The Evangelical United Brethren and The Methodist churches became The United Methodist Church.

In January 1994 the church purchased the Earl Showalter property adjacent to the church. This property, known as Harmony House, has provided us with land and more parking and is currently being used as an extension of the church's various activities.
