Our overriding mission is to reach and help hurting people, to connect them with them and teach them the Truth. In order to fulfill that mission, we have a variety of ministries and programs designed to reach and minister to a variety of needs - from our Sunday Worship Services to our Mid-Week Outreach Service to our various targeted ministries - we are committed to helping everyone we minister to develop a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ. Pleasant Valley was founded as a Southern Baptist church in 1961 by Pastor James E. Schneider, Sr., his wife Louise, and 46 other charter members. The church began as a mission work initiated that met in the YMCA in New London, later moving to Pleasant Valley Elementary School as the congregation grew, before breaking ground on its current location on Grove Avenue in Groton. As the Holy Spirit became increasingly involved in our church, we entered into a new freedom that lead us to become a non-denominational church in 1996.
