A Small Country Church Serving a Great Big God

PLEASANTVILLE, PA — There’s a mansion just over the hilltop from the place where the first functioning oil well in the United States was drilled. That mansion has been described as “A small country church serving a great big God.”


The church is located outside of Pleasantville, Pennsylvania, just down the road a piece from Titusville. A replica of the Drake Well that struck oil in 1859 still stands, but the oil stopped flowing long ago.

Over yonder on a hilltop outside Pleasantville, stands The Full Gospel Church of Pleasantville. The church was built exactly 100 years after the Drake Well, and the river of life has been flowing freely and abundantly from the Word of God ever since.

Given the density of the Allegany Mountains and the sparse population in that part of Western Pennsylvania, the church may never appear on an earthly list of mega-churches. That’s okay. Churches shouldn’t be measured by the size of their buildings or their congregations.

The Bible is replete with real stories of our great big God using the meekest of men to accomplish great things. That’s just the way He works. If you are looking for fame or reward, dig an oil well. If you are looking for eternal rewards, give yourself away in ministry.

That’s exactly what the Pleasantville church is doing.
