Pleasanton Church of Christ

1003 North Main Street
830-281-5511

History:
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.

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 five elders, with the work program headed by eight deacons.

Missionary efforts are supported in India, China, New Zealand, and Romania. Other outreach efforts include Sunny Glen Central Texas, and Medina Children Homes, Eastern European Missions, John Clayton, and Glynn Langston.
