Several Stutzman families arrived in 1906 but their first minister was Eli B.

The congregation enjoyed economic and religious growth. Membership increased from 35 in 1908 to 100 in 1912. In that year the congregation built the present meetinghouse.

The membership of Plainview in 1957 was 136. Development of the congregation is being hindered by inflationary land values and the encroachment of wealthy buyers of land for rural estates. The resident bishop in 1957 was Elmer Stoltzfus and the minister Eugene Yoder.
