Pleasant Hill Baptist Church

On the night of March 7, 1897, a small group of Pleasant Hill citizens met at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Jones Darnell, Sr. for the purpose of organizing a church in their community. On March 20, the ten charter members called Rev. T.W. Paris as the first pastor. During the first year 12 members were added. The first building was a white, frame structure which seated about 300 people. The

auditorium has been enlarged twice and in 1977 an educational building was added. In April 1990 the church was Incorporated.

Founded on and grounded in the Word of God Pleasant Hill Baptist Church has marched forward over the years. The church under the Lord’s leadership experienced and continues to experience growth and immeasurable God-given blessings.

God has provided from the founding to the present, able and dedicated Pastors to preach His Word without fear or reservation and to lead His congregation to meet the challenges and needs of the day.
