The Pastors Corner
Hello, my name is Charles Pierpont. I am a longtime resident of Michigan and love living in Williamston. I have a wonderful wife, Cecilia, and five children: Laela, Aspen, Gunnison, Denver, and Routt. For fun, I enjoy spending time with my family, riding my bike, or making crafts. My pastoral motto is, “Lead people to a good place where they can grow spiritually.” I love the church and am passionate about helping people in their relationships with Jesus. I can speak for the whole church when I say we would be thrilled to have you visit us here at FBC. See you on Sunday. Pastor
My Box Is Full
A new child arrived in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas, in moments like these, thanksgiving comes easy. Early on Sunday, Cecilia delivered Ouray (you-ray) Lee—both safe and healthy. Every time we’ve gone into childbirth, I’ve asked God for only two things: “safe mom, safe baby,” and the Lord gave more than I asked—typical.
Afraid Of The Dark
Lately, we've had trouble getting Routt to sleep in his own room. I started to wonder if maybe we had spoiled him by letting him sleep in ours for too long.
Last night, I sat just outside his bedroom as he stared into the darkness.
“Dad,” he whispered, “look!”
Consider The Bird Feeder.
Last February, I sat in the high school gym with my dad, feeling troubled. He noticed and asked if I was okay. I admitted I was bothered. He began reflecting on aging and his life’s work.
He asked, "Do you ever wonder if anything you’ve done has helped?”
Has Any Of This Helped?

There Is Someone On The Stairs
I was asleep, and my wife grabbed my arm and shook me awake. “There is someone on the stairs,” she said. My heart raced and my fear of having to confront a home intruder was now a reality.
