It was 28 years go that the

Peachtree City Christian Church began with 33 people, who purchased three

acres of land in 1975 at the corner of Wisdom Road and Riley Parkway.

In only 23 more years, land

was purchased at Kedron Drive in north Peachtree City and a 500-seat sanctuary

was built.

George S. Dillard III serves

the church as senior pastor and Tom Morgart serves as associate pastor,

ministering to the senior adults.

Due to growth, a new staff

member has just been added, Sean Kelly, who ministers to children from

birth to fifth grade. Also serving are Derec Sweatman, minister to the

youth, and Cindy Schneider is the administrative assistant.

This past summer the church

teens attended a conference in South Carolina for a week and the adults

attended several retreats in Atlanta and Warner Robins. The seniors have

a title that betrays their status in life, the "Rough Riders."

Next summer they will be helping

out at an Indian reservation, teaching Bible classes and helping in construction.

The church is especially looking

forward to being the center of a study Feb. 17. It will be an all-day

training session by the Serendipity Publishers, who specialize in publications

on small group ministries. This event is open to the public, just call

the church and let them know you are interested.

In conjunction with this theme,

there are a number of home Bible study groups that have been meeting in

members' homes for a number of months. The leaders have all been trained

in the "Serendipity" method.

This coming February will find

a change in the worship schedule: worship services will be at both 9:30

a.m. and 11 a.m. Bible study will also be at these times.

Wednesday evenings there is

dinner at 6 p.m. and Bible fellowship follows at 7 p.m.

The church is at 500 Kedron

Drive and can be reached at 770-
