From humble beginnings in an old schoolhouse, God has provided the means for this rural community of believers to construct a beautiful contemporary sanctuary where its congregants come together weekly to strengthen one another in Christ. At Pleasant Valley, we believe the Body of Christ is comprised of people who have been saved by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ regardless of denominational affiliation. We also believe every Christian is called to serve a divine purpose according to God's Will within their local community, the mission field, or wherever God has planted them. Pleasant Valley supports local evangelism through a hand of fellowship with Cornerstone Television, where its services air three times weekly on Pittsburgh's Faith & Family Channel, and with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), a 501c3 dedicated to the salvation of children.Internationally, Pleasant Valley supports missionaries in Bolivia, Panama, and New Guinea. Amid a world distracted by so many frivolous things, we endeavor to center our hearts on the real purpose of life, which is to Love the Lord thy God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and our neighbor as ourself, and to walk in un-comprising obedience to the Life of Christ and the Word of God.
