[2] The congregation was constituted with ten members dismissed for that purpose from the Limestone/Washington Baptist Church in Mason County, KY (organized in 1785 by Elder William Wood), and presided over by Lewis Craig, who was still a member of the South Elkhorn Baptist Church in Fayette County, KY.[3] Prior to construction of the 1840 structure, the congregation encountered several periods of discord.

In 1829–1830, the rapid rise of Campbellism eventually led to worship in the Minerva Church on alternate Sundays by Campbellist and traditional factions.

The structure was used as a community center from 1900 to 1923 and baccalaureate services for Minerva High School were held there.
