Various preachers continued to minister to these fellowships until November 1819, when the believers at the mouth of Mehoopany Creek constituted into an independent church of our Lord Jesus Christ and called Brother Solomon Dimock to become their first pastor. Pastor Dimock had a glorious ministry for 9 years with many souls added to the church. During this time the church changed its name from Mehoopany to Windham Baptist Church. In 1822, there were 121 members making it the largest church in the Bridgewater Association, In 1823, the congregation sent out a group of 13 to establish the Eaton Baptist Church.

     Up to1830, the church worshipped in a log school house. In July 1834, a meeting house was completed at the cost of $3000. In 1850, the name issue was settled. Windham would from now on be called Mehoopany Baptist Church and Mehoopany would be called Forkston Baptist Church, In 1867, a new church building on Jaynes Bend was dedicated. In 1892, a parsonage was secured which later became Hartley's Dairy Bar.

     In 1929, Mehoopany Baptist Church was at a very low ebb spiritually and financially. Only 8 people were attending and it seemed certain that the church was doomed to close its doors, but prayers were answered when the congregation called Rev. Floyd Hendershot. The work was greatly strengthened under his godly leadership of 15 years.

     Sometime in the 1930's the old Forkston Baptist Church building was given to Mehoopany Baptist. It was subsequently torn down and the material was salvaged to make improvements on the church and parsonage, and the remainder of the material was sold.

     In 1968, the congregation purchased the old Presbyterian church building and parsonage at the south end of town. In 1976, the church built a new Sunday School facility behind the church which was the Youth Center for many years.

     In 1982, the congregation called Ralph Nevin as pastor. Pastor Nevin led the church to a greater outreach and all-time high attendances over his 17 year ministry. He resigned in 1999.

     On June 16, 1991 the congregation dedicated the new church auditorium and Sunday School wing. This was Phase One of a 3 phase plan. Shortly after that the old church building was torn down.

     On November 20, 2004 the congregation completed Phase Two and dedicated the new Gym and Fellowship Hall under the leadership of Pastor Joe Billingsley.

     God has been good to us here in the heart of the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. For over 200 years the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been proclaimed along this stretch of the Mehoopany Creek and this church has stood as a lighthouse to warn those lost in the darkness of sin. It is our desire, as it has been for the former generations, that MBC continue to be a place where there is a warm, loving family atmosphere, Christ-centered Bible preaching, a strong missions emphasis, and inspiring Gospel singing. Please pray with us that these things will be so.
