Pleasant Valley Baptist Church
was established Sunday, 10 September, 1876, and was one of the founders of
the Hamilton County Baptist Association
on 4 July, 1877. Daniel Babb preached the first sermon in the Pleasant
Valley community under an oak tree. Pleasant Valley Baptist Church
was organized by Rev. Daniel Babb, probably Rev. Noah T. Byars,
and possibly Rev. Edmund Eldred Sellers.
