Community Ministry Update
“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.” Hebrews 6:10 (NIV) I have to be honest with you that I struggled out of the starting blocks this year. I was still recovering from snowmeggedon that wiped out Christmas At Piedmont. It was so heartbreaking because the church and so many had put so much into making that event so special for so many. We had set a record on sponsorships as well as the number of … [Read more...]
The Storms of Life
Storms are just a part of life. I have heard it said that you are either in one, coming out of one, or about to be in one. The question is when you find yourself in the storms of life what do you do? How do you get through it? There are different reasons we find ourselves in storms. Some storms are from bad decisions or choices we have made in life. Some are because we face a real enemy in this life whom is always looking to steal, kill, and destroy. Other storms are just because we live in a … [Read more...]
#FORFAMILIES
What may just seem like a small hashtag has so much meaning to us here in Piedmont Kids. We want to do ministry not just for kids, but for their whole family. Our goal is to partner alongside parents and give them the tools they need to disciple their children at home. We get their kids on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, but we know that so much of life happens outside of that. Our goal is for parents to have the resources they need to continue the conversations at home and every day … [Read more...]
Winter Weather
Hello precious family and friends! Scripture teaches us that there are ‘treasures in the snow’ and we have certainly experienced that in our area over the last 24 hours. The beauty and splendor is amazing and it gets us all in the right mood for Christmas and holiday celebrations. On the downside, unfortunately, we had to cancel Christmas at Piedmont – which already had record participation planned with over 35 schools scheduled to join us. Although the event had to be cancelled, I want to … [Read more...]

The Shepherd & His Sheep
AW Tozer said, “The most important thing about a person is what that person thinks about when they think about God.” In the scriptures God shows us what He is like and even what kind of relationship we can have with Him. One example of this is Him being the Shepherd and us being His sheep. Here is a brief exploration what that means and looks like in our lives! THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND HIS SHEEP… Jesus said this about himself and us in the Gospel of John: 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good … [Read more...]
Change your mindset
"According to your faith will it be done to you." - Matthew 9:29 You get to choose how much God blesses you. You get to choose how much you experience in life. You get to choose what limits you set on yourself. God says "According to your faith it will be done unto you." There are two basic philosophies of life. You can live by fear. You can live by faith. You can live by optimism. You can live by pessimism. Job was a pessimist and he set himself up. He said, "That which I have … [Read more...]

Community Update | November 2, 2016
Serving the community is part of the Core Values here at Piedmont. I truly believe that the local church will have its greatest influence when it serves the community with compassion. Paul talked about the importance of serving with compassion… Therefore as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. - Colossians 3:12 Paul is saying as you go out and serve this is the uniform to put on. This is what I … [Read more...]
