BLESSED TOGive
Dear Peachtree Family,
Think back to your most recent house-hunting experience for a moment. Do you remember that sense of wonder when you walked through a new home and imagined what the future could hold? Each room seemed to invite visions of family gatherings, birthday celebrations, and spontaneous moments of joy. You could almost see the stories waiting to be written, the memories ready to be made, and the milestones yet to be celebrated.
As we reopen the doors to Peachtree’s beautifully restored campus, we find ourselves in a similar moment of anticipation. We are excited about the new chapter of ministry ahead—the sanctuary, resonant with worship and soul-stirring music; the Family Ministry spaces, full of children and students learning to follow Jesus; classrooms and coffee bar, where our faith deepens and relationships flourish. These reimagined spaces position us for a new season of ministry, which your faithful generosity sustains.
In Acts 20:35, we are reminded that, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Through giving, we become an extension of God’s generosity to us. We participate in something far greater—the expansion of God’s Kingdom, the transformation of lives, and the restoration of all things. As we embark on this exciting new chapter, I invite you to give thanks for all that God is doing in and through Peachtree Church. Then, prayerfully consider how you can join us as we transform our local and global community.
With hope and anticipation,
Richard Kannwischer
We’ve been blessed to teach Peachtree’s Kindergarten Sunday School, Tool Time, together for the past 16 years. Why have we done it for so long? The simple answer is JOY! It is such joy to be a part of the children’s journey to know Jesus and God’s love for them. It is a joy to see each new class of kids progress in their faith and knowledge, to move from reciting a simple Bible verse to praying the entire Lord’s Prayer. It is a joy to see their youthful faith and lightbulb moments. It is a joy to see their curiosity in action and experience unexpected moments every week.

BLESSED LEAD

Our Anchor Sunday School class is such a blessing to so many. We have an opportunity to “go deep” in the Bible every week!
We have fantastic teachers that make the leadership role Pam and I play a very easy job. Peachtree gives us all so many opportunities to grow in our faith.

I’m so grateful to sing with our incredible choir every Sunday. Music is a gift from God and being able to share that gift with our congregation is very special. I look forward to worshiping with everyone in our new Sanctuary. Singing in the choir has been a blessing to me and I will continue to praise the Lord in song for as long as I am able.

We are blessed to give out of the abundance of the Lord’s provision for us. He recently allowed us to move into our first single family home as we prepare to welcome our first child. It is a joy and privilege to give back to His house.

It is a blessing to attend Peachtree.
Our church has the best people, music, and ministers. At Peachtree, one learns to “love God and enjoy Him forever.”
My wife, Mary, and I have been blessed with good health and mobility, and we love to greet people and make them feel welcome. So, serving with the Hospitality Team is a natural fit. We hope others at Peachtree will find the best ways to use their God-given gifts.

Everyday is a blessing and that became so clear to me during this year’s mission trip in Malawi. Through the students’ words, smiles, and singing, I learned a whole new meaning of feeling fortunate for every ounce of my day and the people that surround me. I truly feel that they blessed me more than I could have ever given back.

At Peachtree, our daughters have experienced Christ’s love again and again through activities and events with Student Ministries. At Peachtree, we are blessed with loving staff who pour into our children. The year-round activities, from the Winter Retreat to Rutledge and every Sunday in between, play a critical role in planting the seed of faith and nurturing our children as they grow closer to God.
Dear Peachtree Family,
As we look ahead to the coming year, we are reminded of how deeply God has blessed Peachtree Church. Through His abundant grace, we continue to grow in faith, strengthen our community, and serve those not just in Atlanta, but around the world. It is with a heart of gratitude that we invite you to participate in our 2025 Annual Fund Campaign.
At Peachtree Church, we are grateful for God’s blessings and believe we are called to share them with others. Your faithful giving in 2024 has enabled us to carry out God’s work in so many ways. From creating spaces of study and connection in our Belong Communities to growing new ministries like Wonderfully Made, to fostering spiritual growth through Honour Academy classes, to opening a girl’s dormitory in Malawi, to engaging the youngest members of our church family through Children’s and Student ministry programs, your faithful giving in 2024 has enabled us to carry out God’s work in so many ways.
Now, as we prepare for 2025, we ask you to prayerfully consider how you can continue to be a blessing to others. Every gift helps the church extend its reach and fulfill our mission of joining Christ daily in the restoration of all things.
We ask that you prayerfully consider making a financial commitment to be a blessing in 2025. We know that every good and perfect gift comes from God, and we trust that He will continue to use Peachtree Church to be a blessing to our community and beyond. Thank you for your faithfulness and your generosity. We are blessed to have you in our church family.
Best,
Ginny Nickles Senior Generosity Director
