The Mount Pleasant Mennonite Church in Martinsville, Indiana, began in 1951 as an outpost of the Bean Blossom Mennonite Church. Bean Blossom had held a Summer Bible School in Mahalasville in 1945, but regular services did not begin until 1951 in a Methodist Church.
Services moved to a former schoolhouse northwest of Mahalasville in 1953. This became the congregation's church building, which it enlarged in 1958.
The congregation closed in 1983.
