Pulaski Heights Baptist Church

What Pulaski Heights Baptist Church does

Pulaski Heights Baptist Church is an independent Baptist congregation founded in 1913 in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas, affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. It conducts weekly worship services (Sunday at 10:45am), Sunday School classes (9:30am), baptism rites, and a dedicated ministry for senior adults aged 60 and older called Young at Heart. Its 4-person staff is led by Interim Pastor Rev. Kim Munns Johnson and includes an Administrative Assistant, Building Attendant, and Bookkeeper. The church is governed by its membership body and operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means it has no shareholders or external investors, and income is derived solely from voluntary tithes and offerings — there are no fees for participation in any program. All activities are open to the community regardless of membership status, with membership available through profession of faith, baptism, or transfer from another congregation.

The church has positioned itself as more than a worship venue through a set of community-facing programs operated from its permanent sanctuary at 2200 Kavanaugh Blvd. The Hillcrest Farmer's Market, begun in May 2010, has grown from 9 vendors to 28+ vendors on peak summer Saturdays, providing fresh produce, meat, cheese, baked goods, and plants. The Little Free Pantry, a Jubilee Ministry, supplies nonperishable food and household essentials on a take-what-you-need basis. The Hillcrest Commons, launched in 2020, extends the church's footprint by sharing its facilities with outside organizations including Arkansas Women's Outreach, Parents of Murdered Children, Arkansas Fencing Club, Sidewalk Therapy Group, mömandpöp Children's Theatre, and a Swing Band Reunion ensemble.

The church does not use any proprietary technology platforms and has no digital products, APIs, or AI systems. Distribution is almost entirely physical and in-person, with a minimal digital footprint consisting of the official website (phbclr.com) and a Facebook presence for the Farmer's Market. Customer acquisition relies on word-of-mouth, neighborhood relationships, and the visibility generated by community service programs rather than structured marketing. The organization is privately held as a religious nonprofit and does not disclose financial information.
