The church was built as a Calvinist Baptist Church, becoming a United Baptist Church in 1906 as a result of the union of the Calvinist Baptist and Free Baptist Churches. A small meeting house style building with the later addition of a ell on its northeast corner, we believe this church to have been built shortly after 1867, in which year the congregation was formed. After the 1906 unification of Free and Calvinist Baptists, the Free Baptist Church was moved to make an ell of the Calvinist Baptist Church, yielding the United Baptist Church of today.

Behind the church is the cemetery, simply known as the Pleasant Lake Cemetery. At least as old as the church, the earliest known interment here was that of Clarissa Ann Kinney, born at an unknown date, who died February 22, 1860. It seems no longer to be in use as the most recent known burial took place in 1962. The cemetery has somewhere around 50 headstones remaining, Find A Grave listing 47.
