Eight charter members met in the Old Pleasant Hill Schoolhouse in 1892 and organized the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. The congregation joined the regional Cisco Baptist Association in 1893 and organized a Sunday school the following year. Although the first church structure, built in 1905, was destroyed by fire later that year, another was erected in 1906. A new structure was built in 1945. Several pastors of this church have also held eminent positions at institutions of higher learning in the area. This congregation has remained active in community and missionary programs. (1992) |
