On March 10, Pisgah Baptist Church, Piedmont, celebrated its 175th anniversary. Former pastors Rodney Ledbetter and Eric Mackey spoke during the service, and Ledbetter shared some of the history of Pisgah Baptist. Church member Linda Highfield sang a solo, the choir performed and Ivan Ray, guest pianist, played for the service as well.
Missionary families who have lived in the church’s missions house — including the Page family who served in Indonesia and are now church planters in Arkansas and the Stonecyphers who served in Nigeria and Niger and are now retired — shared how Pisgah had blessed them.
Jamie Baldwin, with the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, presented the church with a plaque. Wendell Dutton, Cherokee Baptist Association associational mission strategist, presented a certificate from the association and the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission.
“We were thrilled. It was a wonderful spirit-filled day. We felt revived. It recharged our batteries,” Highfield said.
