In 1939, a group of Christians from the Rydal area decided to take an old two-room school house and start having church services. Thus, Pleasant Olive Baptist Church was started and eventually established. On April 12, 1940, J.E. Scoggins donated approximately two acres of property to Pleasant Olive that remains part of the current grounds for the church today. Since the start of the church in 1939, the members at Pleasant Olive have witnessed many people come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior as well as many lives committed to service unto Him. Although the building may not look exactly the same and there have been some additions over the years, our prayer is that Pleasant Olive Baptist will always be a church that stands unwavering on the truth of the infallible Word of God.
