We love sharing stories of life change on Milestone Life. There are so many stories that we simply can’t come close to sharing them all in our weekend services. This blog provides us a space where we can celebrate together as a church family all the great things God’s doing in our church. We’re an everyone church…and this is an everyone blog.
