In 1925, Lincoln Heights was known as the "Sub",  an area of land up the hill from Lockland, Ohio.  There were few streets and houses.  Simmons Avenue was part of a parcel of land with beautiful trees, wild flower bushes and the only water pump in the "Sub".  This source of water made the parcel of land a popular and desirable location.  The "Sub" was an undefined location without a name and without a Baptist Church for the African American families that were settling here.  The need for God's Word in God's House inspired a group of determined Christians to hold service under a bush arbor in an open field on this parcel of land.  In the openness under God's sky the founding members of the Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church declared themselves a congregation.

1931-1964	Rev. Charles Wesley became the fourth pastor and served thirty-three years until his death.  Under Rev. Wesley's leadership, a dedication service was held due to an enlarged and refurbished structure.  The Gospel Chorus, Male Chorus, Ever Ready Club and the Young Adult Choir were organized.  Rev. Wesley helped the pastors of Friendship and Ebenezer organize their churches.  In 1952, Mt. Moriah birthed a sister church...Tabernacle Baptist Church.
1965-1997	Rev. James Wesley Jones became the fifth Pastor and served thirty-two years.    The Radio and T.V. Broadcast began, three vans and a school bus were purchased,  the Rev. Charles L. Wesley Scholarship Fund was established and a Prison Ministry was initiated.  In 1972, the Mt. Moriah Development Corporation sponsored a 71-unit housing development. (Oak Park)
1998-2006	Rev. Dr. Harry L. White, Jr. was called as the sixth pastor and served eight years.  He led and empowered Mt. Moriah to establish the following new ministries: Harambee Development Corporation, Sisters Seeking Spiritual Growth, The Lord's Army, Sunday Morning Live (children's church), The Jesus Store, Teen Talk and the Marital Enrichment Ministry.  In 2004, the church fellowship hall was refurbished and in 2006 the sanctuary was updated and remodeled.
2007	Rev. Dr. Taijuan O. Fuller  is the seventh pastor of Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church.  Dr. Fuller's objective is to carry out The Great Commission, promote the edification of the saints as well as to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Over the past 3 years under the leadership of Dr. Fuller, a new Praise Ensemble been implemented, a new youth and young adult choir, marriage ministry has been revitalized and Mt. Moriah has set new recoreds for attendance in its Wednesday night Bible Study classes.  Also, a new missions initiative has been instituted which includes a quarterly outreach feeding program for the community as well as a foreign missions partnership with World Vision ministries.  Furthermore, a minister's training program has been implemented as well as a Youth Church program during Dr. Fuller's tenure here at Mt. Moriah.

We thank God for our visionary Pastors who dedicated their lives to the work of advancing God's kingdom in our church and community.    Mt. Moriah has stood through many storms.  Mt. Moriah has served God and brought fellowship to thousands.  Praise God for his grace and mercy. Praise Him for the disciples who overcame hardship and heartache to erect the House of the Lord where we worship today.  They are our ancestors, who knew and believed that the love of our Savior Jesus Christ would conquer all.
