The newly organized congregation met in a brush arbor.  Charter members Charles McLendon, Joe McLendon, and Robert Broadway collectively purchased the first two acres of land (a part of the current campus) on January 24th, 1880.  Another land purchase occurred on May 29th, 1896 of 4 and six tenths acres and was made by Harry Broadway, J.C. Lilly, Henry Lee, Clay Watkins, and Albert Tanner.  The third and final land purchase was made by Frank Richardson, Jr., Claude Threadgill, and D.L. McLendon on May 16th, 1944.\nUnder the pastorate of Rev. Richardson, who often preached from the subject, \u201cThe Brotherhood of Man\u201d in those early days, services were held once a month, later changing to twice monthly.  He was compensated by the harvest of produce from the gardens of members, as farming was one of the area\u2019s more lucrative occupations.  The congregation grew steadily under Rev. Richardson\u2019s leadership, and sometime during the 1920s, Pleasant Hill constructed a modern and convenient sanctuary.\nDuring the pastorate of the Reverend C. L. Chambers, the building was remodeled between 1967 and 1968.  Later, a fellowship hall had begun to be constructed, and was completed under the pastorate of the Rev. Clarence M. Huntley.  Under Rev. Huntley\u2019s leadership, the addition of an educational building, a baptistery, and the expansion of both the choir loft and Pastor\u2019s Study were completed in 1991.  Additional walkways were added to the campus in 1994.\nThe Reverend Lynn A. Jackson became Pastor in September 2007.  Under his leadership, the third Sunday was added in addition to the second and fourth Sunday regular worship times.\n\nMinisters who have served Pleasant Hill as Pastor are:\n\nReverend Frank Richardson\nReverend Walsh Leak\nReverend Sid Alsobrook\nReverend Richard Allen\nReverend Travis Medley\nReverend Grant Flake\nReverend Robert Alsobrook\nReverend J.
