Mission: The Pleasant Lane Missionary Baptist Church was established in 1966 and set apart as a Baptist organization by the Unity Progressive Baptist Association in May 1968. Located in a historic district on Capitol Hill in the nation's capitol (Washington, DC), Pleasant Lane is housed in building built in 1863 by freed slaves. This building consists of a five hundred seat sanctuary, a fellowship hall, a baptism pool, a full service kitchen, restrooms, four classrooms on the ground level and a three story office and education building which was attached in the 1960's. Under the leadership and guidance of the Rev. Dr. John D. Chaplin, Pleasant Lane has grown into a worship center, an educational facility and a community outreach service organization providing services to the less fortunate and those in need. Our mission is to continue to provide services for tbe homeless, the hungry, the under-educated and the less fortunate in our society.l
Programs: Pleasant Lane has established community programs who's sole mission is to be a valuable resource to the underprivileged in our society. Our goal is to educate and equip the less fortunate with the necessary tools for surviving in an era were technology plays an important role in their lives. Pleasant Lane has many in-house ministries and programs for church members and persons in our community outside of the church. We currently operate the following: the PC Learning Lab, food & clothing services, addiction prevention & recovery, Christian Education (Vacation Bible School & Progress Biblical Institute), Summer Camp, Feed the Hungry Progam, a Prison Ministry, and a Child Development Center.
