Milestones
Faith Milestones are all about helping children, families and adults see God in their everyday! We take common events or moments in our lives and the lives of our children to celebrate and ask God to bless them, guide them and be with them. We hope to equip and encourage our families to see that being with God is more than just something we do on Sunday, but that God is a part of our everyday. No matter if we are celebrating the beginning of school, learning something new or welcoming them into the family of God…all these moments are God moments.
