SUMMARY: Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in southeast Dallas held services two days after a fire severely damaged its office building. Pastor Paul David Taylor was inside preparing a sermon when he noticed smoke and escaped unharmed. Most members attended services at a nearby location, and the pastor expressed hope for the future despite the destruction. The church’s sanctuary remained untouched, and many books in the office were saved. An engineer deemed the structure stable but confirmed it needs a new roof. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and the timeline for returning to the sanctuary remains unclear.

A far Southeast Dallas congregation gathered for services two days after a fire tore through its building. The pastor of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church was in his office preparing his sermon at the time but managed to get out safely. And he got a bit of good news about the building’s future.
