Pleasant Hill First Baptist Church is joining hands with the Pleasant Hill community's local churches, businesses, schools and civic organizations to do our part in helping the tornado victims of Joplin, Missouri. The effort will take several weeks - maybe months. If you would like to be a part, there are several ways you can participate. Please visit the information provided below for how you can plug-in at this time. This website and our FaceBook page will be updated regularly with new information and ways you can help. So, please continue to visit our website and FaceBook pages. In addition, we will be updating the community through one of our partners, THE PLEASANT HILL TIMES.
