The church was in the village of Ryerson Station and was active for many years. Its original name was South Wheeling Baptist Church. Over time the church eventually shut down for a while until Pastor Ron McCoy and Cameron Baptist Church, from Cameron West Virginia, worked with past members of the church and re-opened it in 1997 under the name Ryerson Baptist Church. The church later moved to its current location, approximately 1 mile from where it was, and built a new facility in 2007. The church is a Southern Baptist Church and part of the West Virginia Southern Baptist Convention and a member of the Upper Ohio Valley Baptist Association that serves churches in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
