From the history of Pleasant Union Baptist Church….
On April 15, 1871, Pleasant Union Baptist Church was duly constituted with a presbytery of the following: Isaac Land, Ordained Minister; Levi Cagle, Ordained Deacon; Jeremiah Warren, Ordained Deacon.
The original log church was located just a few miles from the church’s present location. (click on the image to see a better view, but it is a copy of copy…)
On July 29, 1912, the membership approved to build a new church building “at the forks of the road at James W. Gay’s house”. On January 8, 1913, James W. Gay deeded the land for the site of the new church and on August 23, 1913, the membership voted to give their new church building the same name as the old church.
In 1936, during a Saturday conference service, the church burned. It was rebuilt at the same location. In 1963, the church building was remodeled and in May of 1972, the Sunday School addition was completed and dedicated. In March, 1992, the addition of a Fellowship Hall began.
As the church has grown and facilities changed, the membership has held strong in its faith in God and in serving our Lord Jesus Christ.
The history goes on to list the pastors of the church from 1871 through present day….I’m listing the first five or six here:
1871-1876 Isaac Land
1876 H.G.B. Turner
1876-1878 W.B. Allred
1878-1879 J.D. Harris
1879-1881 J. Holbert
1881-1883 J.D. Harris
