Fast Facts: In April of 1973, Joelton Baptist officially started a mission church which would become Pleasant View First Baptist as we know it today. Bro. George Clark, a Texas minister coming to work for what was then the Baptist Sunday School Board (now Lifeway Christian Resources), became the first pastor in May 1973. Remaining the pastor for 30 years, Bro. George was one of only three to carry that role since its beginning. Three years ago the church suffered a split that left the remaining members discouraged and unhopeful of recovering. However, through that difficulty God brought revitalization. By focusing outward and upward, the church has grown to an average of 140 on Sunday mornings. More important than the numerical growth, there is a spirit of love and unity pervading the fellowship. Please pray for continued outreach events and emphases at the church. Finally, pray for wisdom as the church continues to develop different ways to connect with its community.
