MILESTONES
Milestones Addresses Distinct Seasons Of Life
The Fall 2010 semester of
Milestones begins this month. Simply stated, Milestones is a framework for how our ministries and programs can better equip members of the body of Christ—from birth to adulthood—to take their unique place as part of a relevant biblical community. It's a tool for taking God's road map—the Bible—and applying its principles of spiritual development to nine seasons of life.
