Senate Joint Resolution 1506, sponsored by Roberts, recognizes Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Robertson County as it celebrates its 175th anniversary. Established on August 19, 1849, the church has played a significant role in the community, initially serving as a schoolhouse and evolving to accommodate the spiritual needs of its members. Throughout its history, the church has demonstrated a commitment to inclusivity, allowing formerly enslaved individuals to form their own congregation and establishing Friendship Baptist Church in Cross Plains. Over the years, the church has adapted its services and facilities, including the installation of stained glass windows in 1984, while maintaining a welcoming environment for its congregation.
The resolution honors the church's enduring impact on the community and its dedication to spiritual service, emphasizing the importance of such institutions in fostering a stable and just society. As Pleasant Hill Baptist Church continues to thrive, with a weekly attendance of sixty to seventy worshipers, the resolution expresses gratitude for the congregation's contributions and wishes them continued success and happiness in their mission.
