The Ebenezer Church was a Methodist congregation. The church building was located about 2 miles southeast of Peru, in Walnut Township, close to the border with Ohio township. A history of the church has not been found but the most likely scenario is that it was organized in the 1850s (the associated cemetery dates to 1855), and built the church building in the 1870s. In August, 1898 the Ebenezer Church was taken down and the materials used to enlarge the Methodist Church at East Peru. A schoolhouse of the Washington District was built on the vacant property. No photograph has been found.

From various newspaper articles are found some of the Ebenezer Church members and preachers including William Deardorff, Rev. McDougal, Dr. Simon Clayton Carver, Rosa Carver, Rev. Patterson, Rev. William F. & Matilda Hestwood, Mrs. John Howe, Thomas Husted, Alfred Reese Simmons & Mary Simmons, Rev. J. R. Rawls, and Rev. Charles Woolsey.
