Plainview Baptist Church is located at 1820 Ms. Hope Church Road, east of Greensboro in McCleansville, south of I-40/I-85 near Replacements, LTD. Unfortunately, the church doesn't appear to have a website so we can't tell you much more than what we saw on location. Plainview is very typical of our Southern Baptist churches: simple white, wooden building; large trees on the lot; cemetery out back, and gravel parking lot on the side. Plainview has both a Sunday morning and evening service as well as a Wednesday service.
Before I-40 was constructed, Plainview was a rural church on a curvy road serving the farming community and upon approaching the church it must have seemed like it was in "plain view." Today, it is located next to a gas station, convenience store, car wash complex as well as large offices. However, from the view above, Plainview likely looks very similar to when it was built. We bet it has a great history, just waiting to be written.

Hope your photo and post inspires someone to write down the history of this church!
