This church is denoted as "Valley Church" on the U. S. Geological Survey topographic map. The Evangelical Association built Yearick's Church in 1869. It was located along the Brush Valley Road across from Yearick's Cemetery. In 1900 a new "Yearick's" church was erected at the "Valley Church" site. The lumber was donated by Frank A. Yearick and he and his son, Evanse, engineered the building. The church was dedicated in 1901. At this time it was a Dubbs of the Esher and Dubbs split of the Evangelical Association, but later it became the Evangelical United Brethren Church. Obituaries and death records appear to refer to both the cemetery established behind this church and the earlier cemetery as Yearick's Cemetery.
The church stood idle for a number of years and then was leased by the owner, Samuel Yearick, to the Mennonite people for a place of worship. They held a dedication service on July 13, 1963. They currently use the cemetery.
