We Are Pleasant Valley!


We are Pleasant Valley! And we are made to WIN! No, we are not perfect, but we are, on purpose, desiring to be a church that WINS! God has been so good to us over the last few weeks! We have been learning to be more intentional as a church and are rallying together around some basic fundamentals of our Christian faith. God is using the Sunday School lessons, Daily Devotions, and Worship Services to challenge and encourage us to WIN Together. As a matter of fact God has been good to us for the last 101 years! And as we begin another year of ministry as a church, we must be a church on purpose more than any other time in our history. I am excited about what God has done, is doing, and will do as we rally together to WIN!

Here are some encouraging words from some of our people:

Steve Tucker commented, “It is amazing how God used so many different individuals to write about many different topics but yet maintain the same direction in all of them..."A Winning Church by becoming Winning Individuals.”

Rebecca Cox wrote, “I am SO excited about our children's choir! On our first Wednesday night meeting there were 24 children. At our second Wednesday night practice, there were 25!! There is nothing shabby about this group of kids - OUR kids - and we are going to have a children's choir that WINS!”

Will and Sharon Moore left a prayer on our blog: “We are thankful for fellow Christians that use their talents for your glory. We know the jewels are in the fields. Help us to be quick harvesters! A crown without jewels doesn't have much sparkle. Pleasant Valley wants their crowns to really, really shine! Help us to win for Jesus....In Christ's Holy name...Amen.”

Gail Williams wrote, “I feel a change going on in my own heart for GOD’S Glory. I am learning to listen more to the Holy Spirit, I am learning to apply truth in circumstances of life. I am working on purposeful and intentional participation, stepping out of my comfort zone!! I’m in the process of learning to be more prepared to be used for GOD’S purpose to increase God's Kingdom… I am excited to see what GOD is doing at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church.”

Looks and sounds like a Winning Church to me!
We are Pleasant Valley! And we are WINNING!!

Privileged to be the pastor of a Winning Church,
Pastor Keith
