The Church
of Christ in Pleasanton
began meeting in 1910 with less than 20 members. The first assemblies were held under the old Oak Trees on the courthouse
lawn.
Visiting preachers and summer Gospel Meetings helped the church to grow, with services held where space was available
- including the homes of members such as Texana Brite.
Land was donated at the present site in 1924 by Mrs. M.E.
Morris for the construction of the first building. More land was bought during the 1940's, 50's, 60's and 1999.
The present auditorium building was constructed in 1965. The office annex was renovated in 1986 and a new classroom
wing was built in 1987. In 2008 the Children's Biblical Studies
Center was built for grades cradle roll through 4th. This new wing adjoins
the auditorium.
From the small number of Christians who began meeting under Oak trees, the Pleasanton
congregation has grown to over 300 members. The present work is conducted under the leadership of nine elders,
with the work program headed by nine deacons.
Missionary efforts are supported here in the States, in India,
New Zealand, and Romania. Other
outreach efforts include Sunny Glen, Central Texas, and Medina Children Homes, David Nelson (New Zealand), John Clayton, Glynn
Langston, Mark Forster, Jail Ministry, World Bible School, and others.
