A faith milestone is a marker along life's journey that says, "This is something important and God is here, tool!" It's time to pause, to share the joys and sorrows, to give and receive support.
Most of us grew up in household and congregations that did not name faith milestones or mark them.
This conference will teach you to be deliberate in looking for opportuntiies to name and claim God's presence in the changing times in our lives.

Milestones Ministry is a ministry embraced by a growing number of congregations. Whether you are brand new to the intentional celebration of milestones, or looking to expand and go deeper, a Milestones Ministry Conference will equip your staff and leaders to do God's work of nurturing and passing on faith. A two-day training is ideal and provides pastors, staff, leaders and volunteers with The Youth & Family Institute's theological foundation for effective children, youth and family ministry. A one-day training without workshops is also available.
Participants will also receive a framework to develop milestones for every age and stage of life, beginning at birth through one's baptism, first Bible, communion, new driver's license, marriage, first home, retirement and ultimately one's death in Christ.
Milestones bring God's presence into the home and the rituals of daily life into the church. This interactive, hands-on, Milestones Ministry training can be customized for your congregation, or a group of leaders in your geographic area. |
