It is home to a congregation established in 1903, as the Zion Bethel Church, which met at a frame residence at the location of the present church.[2] The church was built in 1921, and was added to the National Register in 1984.[1]

It is on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma. The building was deemed significant as the second-oldest black church building in Okmulgee, and one of the "oldest unaltered black churches in eastern Oklahoma."[3][2]
