It is reported that Mt. Triumph began its organization in McAlester in the late 1890’s on North Main Street, under the Pastorate of Rev. Phillips. Records show that Mt. Triumph was the first Black Church to organize here.
In 1901, MTBC was moved to a small building that was erected on South Main.
In 1905, a lot was purchased and Mt. Triumph made its last move to the present site, 408 E Wyandotte. Since 1934, the following men were called to Pastor at MTBC; Rev. J.L. Hawkins; Rev. Robert E Warren, Rev. Isaac Buie Jr., Rev. Kenneth Davis.
