1830 Mt. Pisgah chartered following the closing of the first Protestant Church's (Half-Moon Baptist) as part of The Mississippi Baptist Association.
Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church takes its date of organization as 1841. This however, is the date when it was admitted to the Mississippi Baptist Association. The date when it began to function as a congregation and the date when it was constituted is not known. The original location of the church was about a mile north of its present location. That location was on the north side of Silver Creek about two
miles almost due west of Half-Moon Bluff.
There is good reason to believe that Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church began functioning as a congregation very shortly after Half-Moon Bluff Baptist Church was dissolved in 1830.
Obits show that members of families living on the east side of the river affiliated with Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church after Half-Moon Baptist Church dissolved. A community sprang up around the church, composed of a store, post office, and a number Of homes. A (Burch's) water mill was located on Silver Creek about a half mile west of the church.
Based on information from Mrs. Zuma Magee and Mr. Delos R. Johnson, Sr. information. On the early history from Zuma Magee father's copy of "The History of the Mississippi Baptist Association, 1806-1906", written by T. C. Schillings.
Mr.John A. Fendlason served as Clerk of the Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church for many years. Mr.. Delos R. Johnson, Sr., was a member of an old and prominent Washington Parish family. Very likely this accounts for his knowledge and interest. In 1911 he was a young Franklinton Attorney.It is believed the church burned in the 1880's.
