About Us

Kristin is a Southern Georgia belle, who graduated from UGA as a veterinarian May 2010. Carter grew up in NC, went on to seminary, became an ordained pastor, and has completed his doctorate of ministry. After retiring from full-time ministry, Carter is thoroughly enjoying being a financial advisor (and volunteering on the ministry side of things). After about a month of emailing, asking questions, and going through the steps of eharmony.com, we were full of excitement and became very eager to meet one another face to face. October 25, 2009, we met and enjoyed every minute together. We had no doubt God was going to strengthen our relationship with Him as well as with one another. Carter proposed August 9, 2010 on the boat in the middle of Lake Wylie at sunset. Kristin said "Yes" after some happy tears. We got married April 2, 2011 and what an amazing beautiful day that was! God has continued to bless us throughout our marriage. On May 18, 2017, our family grew when God gave us our son, Micah. We look forward to see what He has in store for us each and every day. We are super blessed to be serving the Lord wherever we are. God is constantly surprising us with new callings!

Worthy

by The Robinsons
“Hosanna, Hosanna. You are the God who saves us, worthy of all our praises. Hosanna, Hosanna. Come have Your way among us, we welcome You here, Lord Jesus.” 

This was part of a chorus to a song I heard on the way to church a couple weeks ago. The words “You are worthy of all our praises” were in my head most of that day...and many days since then!  How often do we praise Our Father? Do we praise Him daily for everything He’s given us? Or do we just turn to Him in the storms? Do we praise Him for who He is? Do we praise Him for the little things? What about the big things? What defines the difference of little and big? What about the struggles that in the end glorify God more than had the “journey” been smooth sailing? Do we stop long enough to truly say “thank you?”

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Psalm 107:1

This song really got me thinking and thanking God for: 
Who He is! Scripture. A church. My godly husband. A roof over my head. A job. Family. Friends. My students. Worship. Accountability. Praise songs. A warm shower. Sunday School Family. Love. Various “struggles” (that in the end I would have not changed one bit). Grandparents (a special bond). A car that runs. Women’s Ministry. Having all 5 senses. Mentors. Good health. Past experiences. A testimony. Water to drink. Faith. Sunsets. Advanced education. JAM kiddos. The Beach. Upcoming opportunity to walk the footsteps of Jesus. Doctors. Challenges that have taught me to lean on Him even more. Food to eat. Forgiveness. Seasons of Life. Soft pillows and warm blankets. Hope. Communication. Prayer. And of course this list could go on and on.

This is an entry that could easily go on for pages, but I will close here with Psalm 92: 1-5.


It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O Most High,
to proclaim your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.
For you make me glad by your deeds, O Lord;
I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
How great are your works, O Lord,
how profound your thoughts!

January: Carter's Corner

by The Robinsons

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

Who needs something new? 

 New Year, New Life in Christ!

It is a new year... As we begin 2014, why not start it with a new and renewed relationship with Christ?

If we are IN Christ, we are a new creation. How incredible is that? The old has passed away, and we are made new. All of our old failures, our old sins, our old insecurities are gone!!!! We are new, and we have a new life and a new relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I pray that if you have never lived in this new life that Christ has given you, then 2014 is a perfect time to start. Submit to Christ. Turn your life over to HIM and be a new creation! If you have any questions about this, feel free to talk with me or Pastor Frank!

Now if you are already IN Christ and a NEW creation, our challenge is to be ambassadors for Christ. What does that mean?

TO GO OUT! Bring NEW life to others around you who are in desperate need. We are challenged to plead to those around us who don’t know Christ, to introduce them to Christ, and to help them become the new creation that we are all called and meant to be.

There are so many people who are in need and are LOST...a neighbor? Friend? Family member? Colleague? A PIPC visitor? The list goes on... Let’s be ambassadors for Christ and share the LIGHT of Christ this new year with the lost.

This sounds like a great New Year's Resolution: To be an ambassador for one person you know who doesn’t know Christ. Just one. If each one of us is Christ’s ambassador to one person this year, we would change many lives, and help many be reconciled to their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Are you going to commit to do this???? Come on! We are all in it together; let's be His hands and feet! What a difference this can make!

December: Carter's Corner

by The Robinsons

JOY to the WORLD the LORD is COME!

Are we ready for HIM to come? It’s that time again, Christmas time! Some have been counting down for months; many are excited; and there are some who are dreading Christmas this year for one reason or another. No matter where we are in the spectrum, Christ will come. Christmas is almost upon us, but are we ready? REALLY?

Kristin and I have had a few friends recently give birth or have announced that they are having a baby in the months to come. There is excitement about friends having babies. This excitement is good! We have also been hearing about all the work that is required to prepare for a new baby. Baby items to be purchased: diapers, strollers, car seats, and so much more. The baby’s room needs to be re-done, painted and fixed up, and sometimes even a new room needs to be built on or built in for a baby’s room. There is always LOTS of preparation for a baby, especially for a couple’s first baby.

Do we take this amount of time to prepare for the birth of Jesus, the King of the Universe?

Maybe our hearts and lives are in the wilderness and desert that Isaiah was talking about in Isaiah 40. Maybe, just maybe, we are a wilderness, a desert. What must we do to prepare for Christ’s coming? Are we talking about Christmas now or His triumphant return? Maybe it doesn’t matter because they need the same preparation. A preparation of hearts, which requires humility and submission to the Lord of the Universe, who was born as a baby at Christmas. A preparation of our heart requires heart surgery. It requires us taking our heart of flesh and exchanging it for a heart born of the spirit. It requires us to have our heart no longer oriented on our wants and desires but on the desires of Christ. Jeremiah 17:9 states, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick.” Once we understand that, we can start the process of preparing our hearts for Christ this Christmas.
