History

In 1898, the church sat on the Old Hamrock Road. The land where the church is sitting now was purchased in 1903, and a building was placed on it in 1904. The present building was built in 1917, under the leadership of Rev. Mooney, but was not completed until 1918.

Rev. G. W. Burton, Rev. J. J. Thompson, Rev. N. A. Harrison, Rev. W. McPhearson, Rev. Z. R. Figures, Rev. Green, Rev. Gee, Rev R. J. Watson, Rev. R. P. Walker, Rev. Bradford, Rev. McGlover, Rev. W. F. Moore, Rev. W. D. Quarrels, and Rev. Davis were some of the pastors who served at Mt. Moriah after Rev. Mooney.

In 1961, Mount Moriah was again without pastoral leadership. Bro. Burnice Terrell, Chairman of the Deacon Board, contacted the moderator of the Greater Rising Star District Association concerning the pulpit vacancy. The Lord sent Rev. and Mrs. M.B. Chambers. Under his leadership, many cosmetic changes were made in the sanctuary, including additions and remodeling. Many souls were brought into the Kingdom, and several out-of-state fellowships were established. Rev. Chambers resigned in January, 1989 after twenty-seven years of faithful service.

Rev. Nimr Mahdi followed Rev. Chambers and served as pastor from June, 1989 to August,1992.

In October, 1992, Rev. Ralph Whitehead accepted the call to Mount Moriah. He led the church into the new millennium, stressing the importance of putting God first. He served as pastor until April, 2005.

In July, 2005, Rev. Alfonza Scott became the Undershepherd, and with zeal has motivated the membership to stretch mind, body, and soul to glorifying  God and edifying of each other.
