Peachtree City Christian Church presents B.I.G. 4th of July Weekend Celebration

On July 6, the community is invited to join Peachtree City Christian Church in welcoming Coach Bobby Bowden to speak at the 10:45 a.m. and 11 a.m. worship services. Bowden’s visit is part of the church activities during the B.I.G. 4th of July Weekend Celebration. Other activities include a picnic fireworks at Pebble Pocket Pool and participation in the PTC Parade.

A living legend in college football, Bowden boasts more wins than any other coach in major college football history, along with a distinguished reputation among both those he coaches and those he coaches against. Bowden’s players have been recognized with some of the biggest awards in football as well, ranging from ACC All-American awards to Heisman winners, showing that Bowden is not only dedicated to excellence on the football field, but off of it as well. He has coached for 42 years, 32 of them at Florida State University, and holds a lifetime coaching record of 366-113-4. He led the Seminoles to fourteen consecutive Bowl games, the second longest streak in college football.

Of all his impressive accolades, some of Bowden’s most notable come from far outside the football world. Bowden is universally recognized as a man of great character, deeply rooted in family, and devoted to his faith. He frequently speaks to different groups and churches, particularly in the South about topics ranging from adversity to character.
