The house on Fair Park Blvd was purchased by Pleasant Valley Church of Christ for the
purpose of developing community, discipleship, and to better the surrounding area. At this house,
there will be weekly meetings of 40-60 students, regular hang out times of 10-20 students, and
other events like cookouts, movie nights, etc… These events will be controlled, non-disruptive to
neighbors, and all about cultivating virtue in the lives of our college students. On top of the
scheduled events, the house will be open to the students in our ministry while a PV staff member
is present. At the house, there will be a television, ping pong, tables to eat lunch at, and a small
kitchen to prepare food. This house will be a tremendous blessing to our group because of the
ability it gives us to host and bless students.
Another reason this house is a blessing to Pleasant Valley is because of the location. It is
about 50 yards from the UALR dormitories on campus, meaning our college students will be
able to walk to the house. For those that cannot walk, there is a UALR parking lot just across the
street that is open for UALR students to park in. This is great because there will be no need to
worry about causing traffic due to cars being parked on the road. A third way this house will be
used is that it will serve as a launch pad for service projects in the area. For example, we may
pick up trash in the local neighborhood, serve the UALR campus by cleaning the creek, etc... As
a ministry, we will be doing service projects multiple times a year because we want to be salt to
the community we are located in. It is our hope to not just host students, but to also bless our
neighbors. We believe that we can share the love of Christ with those that are around us by
serving them in concrete ways.
All in all, we are excited to have this space and believe that through God’s goodness we
will be able to use it to bless our students, bless our new neighbors, and bless the University of
Arkansas at Little Rock.
