It was constituted in a home of an early settler. Its covenant was brought from Kentucky by one of its first members. Early clerk's records displayed for Pilgrimage visitors state that the body "met November 2, 1799, according to appointment and after prayer proceeded to business. to There were nine members, four males and five females.

Aaron Nutt was commissioned to build the first meeting house for the Baptist Church of Sugar Creek in 1802 on his land. The site was located where the old cemetery now stands on North Main Street. According to a contract recorded in the History of Montgomery County, Mr. Nutt was to receive produce and cattle for constructing the log church if it was completed by July or otherwise fifty pounds sterling.

The previous year Dr. John Hole became its first member to be baptized in the community. The rite of baptism was observed in Silver Creek, later renamed Holes Creek in his honor.

After the log church was finished, some of its members were delegated to mark a road through the dense forest to the Wilson and McGrew settlements (probably east on present 725) for easier access to the house of worship. A sexton was hired to build fires and clean the church for three dollars per
year.

A stone church was erected on the same site in 1832, with Daniel Wilson acting as construction agent for the building, which had dimensions of thirty-two by forty-four feet.

The congregation in 1866 acquired the old stone Centerville Academy, a private school, in the center of the village for $1500, after the institution was abandoned for lack of students during the Civil War era.

The stone building was refurbished and used as a house of worship until 1872. The structure was razed and the present building was erected in the style of the New England clapboard church.

Records show that Hiram Maltbie, James Wilson, and David Thatcher each contributed one fourth the cost, with the rest of the other members giving the other fourth.

Under girded with a foundation of Centerville limestone, this building has been altered countless times. All that remains of the original frame building is the center section.

A new addition to the sanctuary was completed in 1975 increasing our seating capacity to 650. The building was also enlarged to include a fellowship hall and additional class rooms at that time. The seating arrangement was reversed with the Main Street entrance now serving a decorative purpose only while the church is now entered from  Maple Street.  

From 1972-2004 the church was the home of a Bible school dedicated to the training and education of Christians for service and ministry. Centerville Bible College, formed by Maranatha Institute,  has seen hundreds of students attending classes and the graduates are presently serving as pastors in churches across the country as well as missionaries on the foreign field.

The church property covers over three acres of land and  includes the church sanctuary and educational facilities. two parsonages, an office complex, classrooms and Library. William Browning has served as the Pastor since 1983.

The Name also reflects the fact that it is at a cross point in life that people have a crisis of faith and can believe God and see his love revealed to them. The church being at the cross . We desire to be a caring, equipping community providing discipleship opportunities where people can mend,mature, minister, model and multiply as we serve the purposes of God in our generation.

In 2006 the church joined the Vineyard USA Community of churches and the name of the church became Cross Point Vineyard Church.

For all this we can only praise God for His goodness and grace and our continued privilege of witnessing to His love and saving power through the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
