Organized on November 14, 1886.
Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church was organized on a location on what is now Eureka Road about a mile from the present location.
In 1928 a new church was built on the corner of Eureka Landing Road and Co. Rd 1. 31.35320, -87.68286
The church was built from lumber that was milled from trees that had been torn up by a storm in 1926 and the lumber donated.
Then local people donated the remaining material and labor to build the church.
When I was searching for information on this church Wayne McMillian told this story as follows:
Alice and I were married in that building, and that night right after we left the building lightning struck the top of the church. That was 6-1-74 Some of the old times told me that God had put his signature on our marriage. I agree. Still going, next June 1st will be 50. The bolt of Lightning actually put a hole in the church. It happened just as we were leaving. The rain came so hard that we could hardly see to drive away. A night to remember. Clifford Deese was pastor.
