The spirit of Beulah began when thirteen men and women joined to form a church August 22, 1854. The first building was built in 1860 when the church had 39 members. Originally, supply pastors filled the pulpit on Sunday and moderated the session meetings. Later, pastors were shared with other churches. In 1956, Beulah hired her first full-time pastor. When flames consumed the century-old sanctuary in 1968, it marked a new beginning. A new sanctuary was completed and an educational wing added. Crosses, built of the charred timbers from the old church, used to grace both the sanctuary and outside of the church building. The outside cross has been replaced recently.
