Over the last year… Since our August 2025 Carpenters for Christ Banquet, the leadership team has been meeting regularly
to promote and encourage our membership. On October 25th, 2025, some of our members were able to help Chapman’s
Chapel CH Church located in Glencoe, Alabama. The project consisted of hanging and finishing sheetrock for their fellowship hall. The task took several trips and was a tremendous success. We finished the project on February 28th 2026. We were able to complete the project and had great fellowship with this church group.
About Piedmont First Baptist Church: Piedmont First Baptist traces its roots to 1870. It was founded by 11 charter
members and was known as Cross Plains Baptist Church. In 1905 on the present site the name legally changed to
Piedmont First Baptist Church. In 1950 the existing church sanctuary was completed.
Piedmont First Baptist has been
instrumental in sponsoring the Piedmont Carpenters for Christ. Our group was organized in the parlor of Piedmont First
Baptist. It started with one faithful person stepping out on faith with a vision for our current group back in 1982. Mr. Doug Rosser attended a brother hood breakfast conducted by Charlie Willliams and John Nelson representing the Golden Springs Carpenters for Christ. From this breakfast, Mr. Rosser made the faithful decision to go that year with Golden Springs Baptist Church for his first mission project located in Ohio. He has never missed a trip with the Carpenters for Christ since 1982. Over the years, many Piedmont First Baptist Church members committed to going and the group was dedicated to serving the Golden Springs Carpenters for Christ. In 2001 with Mr. Rosser’s vision our group decided to step out on faith and form the Piedmont Carpenters for Christ. Our group has been able to consistently complete a yearly project since 2001 except for 2020 - the Covid year. We look forward to serving our sponsoring church, Piedmont First Baptist for this year’s project.
Project specifications: This is a remodel of the church sanctuary. Our group will be responsible for replacing the
sanctuary ceiling, which includes sheetrock and a coffered ceiling. We will be building new bathrooms and working on the
existing stage. A new baptistry will be installed to accommodate the stage remodel. The general contractor for this
project is Pat Kirk. Pat has participated several times with our Carpenters for Christ group and is looking forward to seeing
old friends and what the Lord is planning on accomplishing with our group. This project is greatly needed and will help Piedmont First Baptist Church grow its ministry into the next century. Please pray that we will have a great week of fellowship and work to accomplish the plan that the Lord has for our ministry.
