Located on the present day site of Deliverance Baptist Church, the Ross Avenue Methodist Church was first dedicated in 1906. In 1927 Swissvale Avenue was widened, which removed over 20 feet of frontage. The church leaders then purchased two lots fronting Ross Avenue and moved the entire structure back more than seventy-five feet.
Later, the Ross Avenue Methodist congregation rejoined the South Avenue United Methodist Church and the building was sold in 1991 to Deliverance Baptist Church.
