Milestone Ministries are designed to help parents and families become comfortable with faith talk.  Milestones ministry is about opportunities for education, support, recognition, and affirmation.  Milestones ministry helps build a child’s relationship with Jesus and with faith-bearing adults.

Purposes of Milestone Ministries:
-To recognize and affirm moments that are right for a child’s next step in his/her faith journey and to celebrate it in the life of the congregation;
-To equip the Christian home as the primary place where faith formation occurs;
-To empower the Christian home for its ministry of passing on the faith to children by modeling the importance of nurturing faith in a worship experience;
-To involve the members of the congregation in supporting parents in their ministry of nurturing their children’s faith;
