The church building was completed in 1854. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The church began regular usage again in August 2016 with the introduction of Sunday Morning Devotionals. Beginning in November 2019, Mt. Carmel became the location of the early morning worship service of First Presbyterian Church - Covington. The church is also used for special events such as weddings. A scene from the 2005 movie Walk the Line was shot there.
