The church itself lacks any significant Internet presence beyond web-spidered listings and occasional references. The sanctuary is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a 1985 Texas Historical Marker provides some history:
The C.M.E. Church in Pittsburg was organized by the Rev. Joseph Lloyd, who came here between 1870 and 1889. The name St. Beulah was adopted after this sanctuary was constructed in 1896. The wood frame Gothic Revival building has an asymmetrical facade with two towers of differing sizes. The stained glass lancet windows were donated by various members of the congregation.

Two stone plaques at the front of the building note that it underwent renovation and remodeling in 1972 and 1985.
