Mt. Pleasant.

	The records of this church date back to January, 1885. All previous records can
not be found, but the church was organized some years before that time, the date
of organization being 1860, according to the most accurate information that can
be obtained.

	In 1886 the church had only six members, and decided to disband and unite with
Suwanee Town Baptist church.

	After a period of seven months, the church was re-organized April 1, 1887, and
Rev. W. W. Owens was chosen pastor. Only twelve members, four males and eight
females, joined the church at the reorganization, but soon new life was put into
the movement and twenty-five were added to the church in a short period of time.
The present church was built in 1911 and is worth $850.

	A Sunday school with an enrollment of sixty is run here. Officers: E. J.
Hughes, superintendent, Mary Crow, secretary; Paul Crow, chorister, and J. H.
Wofford, M. L. Teague, Paul Crow, Ida "Teague, T. J. Jones, teachers.
