An Amazing Change At Timber Creek High School

Posted on February 23, 2017

We all have influence, but how we choose to use it makes all the difference. Recently, a few of the Timber Creek High School varsity football players chose to use their influence to positively affect their school…and it’s had some incredible results. Dylan, Ethan, and Adrian first attended Elevate, Milestone’s student ministry, this January after being invited by an Elevate leader. Each had a genuine encounter with Jesus and left deeply impacted by what they had experienced. That night they went…

The Miracle No One Expected

Posted on February 16, 2017

It was seven years ago when Abby Mallon first heard the three words that would change her life forever. Words that carry with them a host of baggage: fear, anxiety, worry, and pain. Words that bring a heaviness, a weight. Words that threaten to become who we are. You have cancer. After a whirlwind year of surgery and chemotherapy there seemed to be light at the end of the tunnel. Tests results were good. She’d beaten it. In 2014 Abby,…

Against All Odds

Posted on February 9, 2017

Working the night shift can be grueling. At the end of hour 12, you’ll find most people with this schedule ready to fall into bed. Not Micah Hayman. You can find him patiently waiting the few hours it takes for school to start so he can meet with an adorably shy 9-year-old we’ll call “J”. Two years ago Micah was matched with “J”, a student at Ridgeview Elementary, through the Milestone Mentoring program. Both of his parents are in prison,…

One Invite Can Change A Life

Jaellyn, a 7th grader at Indian Springs Middle School, visited Milestone for the first time in September. She was invited by a friend to our Wednesday night Elevate service for students. That night she decided to give her life to Christ. So excited about what she felt in her heart, she joined a weekly middle school small group and started volunteering on the “Greet Squad” every Wednesday. Jaellyn didn’t know what to do except be at church every time the…

Finding Family

Posted on January 19, 2017

When he first stepped into Milestone Church, John Brown wasn’t exactly sure what he was looking for–but what he found had a profound impact on his life. Two years later, now faithfully serving on our worship team, John reflects on his time here and how the people of Milestone have given him a place to belong. “Two years ago last weekend, I walked through the doors at Milestone Church for the first time. I didn’t really know what I was…

Fasting for the First Time

Posted on January 11, 2017

Though he didn’t know what to expect, Josh Taylor decided to fast for the very first time last year at Prepare 2016. Josh shares with us what God did through his willingness to take a step of faith: “I had never fasted before participating in Prepare 2016. Upon speaking with many of our Milestone family, they shared with me it was their favorite time of year at Milestone, I was excited to experience it for myself, though I went into…

Going All In for Prepare

Posted on January 9, 2017

Milestone member Scott Stewart had two radically different experiences the last two years during Prepare. He’s shared his story as an encouragement for us to go “all in” for Prepare 2017. “Prepare 2017 starts tonight and the 3-day fast looms large in my thoughts. I’m reminded of the difference in my experience between Prepare 2015, which was amazing, and last year’s Prepare, when I was half-hearted in my participation. God is always faithful, but the contrast in those two years clearly…
