In May, 2009, we celebrated our new sister church relationship with Imani Community Church in Oakland.
Statement of Intent between
Imani Community Church and Piedmont Community Church (approved by boards of both churches):
In an effort to bear witness to the unifying, barrier-breaking power of our Lord Jesus Christ, Imani Community Church and Piedmont Community Church pledge to enter into a sister church relationship with each other. We will seek opportunities to share life and faith together through experiences of joint worship, fellowship and service. We will uphold each other in prayer and seek to mutually encourage and strengthen our congregations. In so doing, we hope to be an example of Christian love and fellowship shining the light of God’s love into the Oakland/Piedmont community.
SAVE THE DATES: PCC will be 100 years old March 27, 2010!
Our big Centennial Celebration week will be March 21-28
