Fighting through a life marked by pain and struggle, Kim had been longing for something to fill the emptiness. God met Kim in her brokenness and led her to a place of freedom and forgiveness. This past weekend we had the honor of celebrating with Kim as she was water baptized—letting go of a lifetime of hurt in exchange for a new life in Christ. It’s so easy to look back and see now how much God loves me, and…
We celebrate the stories of spiritual development and restoration, such as Vic’s incredible story in this week’s blog. These stories can be powerful, but please note that they can also contain content that may be potentially sensitive. I grew up in a Christian home, with amazing parents. I was raised in the church, but not everything in my childhood was good. On multiple occasions, I experienced abuse at the hands of childhood “friends”, leaving me feeling unclean and like…
We discovered Milestone Church in 2010 after moving to Keller from Austin. After trying a lot of really great churches, we knew Milestone was home as soon as we walked through the door. From the warm greeting in the parking lot, to the kindness and hospitality of everyone we met—this was home. We quickly worked through the Growth Track, got involved in small groups, discovered a passion for hospitality and greeting, and eventually joined the Growth Track volunteer team. My…
The past few years have been difficult, to say the least, as far as finances go. I quit my career to care for my mother when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease but quickly realized I couldn’t care for her the way she needed, and she had to go to a special care facility. For the next 5 years, I just never returned to work. My husband was deployed in the U.S. Army most of the time, and I was…
Did you know that the average American adult spends around 70 hours every year taking care of their lawn? For widows and single moms, that can mean a tradeoff of precious time spent with their kids or family. Nearly a decade ago, a group of men here at Milestone saw this as a perfect opportunity to join together and give some of that time back. From day one, James Hudson and his teams have been making a difference in the…
Seeing real life-change in the next generation is what it’s all about! The investments we make in their lives today impact their family, school, the rest of their life, and all eternity. We’re so grateful for your generosity, Milestone Church. It gives us the opportunity to create experiences where students encounter God in ways that mark them forever. Last week at Rev Camp, 311 Milestone high school students and 38 small group leaders joined up with nearly 1,000 students from…
Reaching people here in our community is core to what we believe God has called us to; our heart is to care for the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner or refugee living alongside us. Jesus told His disciples that the mission of spreading the Gospel would start first in their city, then spread to the surrounding regions, and then to the ends of the earth. For over three years, teams of local missionaries from Milestone Missions, with a heart…
