This church was constituted on 20 Feb. 1829 at a meeting in the home of J. W. Cooper and agreed to hold meetings in an existing building on lot 282, north side of the Mill near Mountain Creek.

On 25 March 1836 the church reported to its members that it had been invited to move to Whitesville, but decided to erect its meeting house on its existing lot.

The move to Whitesville did not take place until nearly two decades later, on 25 August 1856. A noted member of Mountain Creek Church in 1856 was B. F. White of Sacred Harp song book fame.

In 1857 the church began as Whitesville Baptist Church. In 1921 the church moved to it's present location and began as Midway Baptist Church and is still thriving today.
