Come As You Are: There’s no dress code here! We believe in authenticity, so wear whatever makes you comfortable—whether that’s jeans and a t-shirt or something a bit more formal. It’s your heart that matters most!
Let Us Know You’re Coming or Visit Unscheduled: We’d love to meet you at the door! If you let us know you’re visiting, we’ll be there to welcome you and help you navigate your first experience with us. Of course, you may also arrive without notice! To let us know you are coming, please call or email the church office: P: (205) 428-4056 or E: pleasanthill4809@aol.com, and one of our members will greet you, offer a tour of our campus, and provide you a hospitality gift.
Explore Our Services: Our worship services are engaging and uplifting, designed to inspire and nurture your spirit. Feel free to bring your kids along! We understand that little ones have their own rhythm, and we encourage you to keep them with you during the service if that’s what works best for you or utilize our nursery and children’s church options.
