Last weekend we took a moment to honor and celebrate our graduating seniors. We are so excited for what God has next for each of them as they close one chapter in their lives and open another. Emily Taylor is one of these students, standing right on the edge of a brand new season. When Emily first came through the doors at Milestone Church, she didn’t know what to expect. Six years later, she reflects on how God has used this…
My name is Evan Gusti, and this is the story of how my life was turned around… In September of 2016 I moved from Clearwater, FL to Grapevine, TX. This move was really hard on me. It was right in the middle of my high school experience. My parents are strong Christians and I grew up knowing right from wrong, but I had never really owned my faith personally or surrendered my life to Jesus. Here I was…a 16 year…
Last Saturday over 2,000 volunteers set out from Milestone Church on a mission to serve the people of our region at our 2nd annual Serve Day. Teams of red shirts could be seen all over the area serving in over 60 compassion projects. Yet behind every repair made or trash bag collected, every game played or face painted, behind every conversation started, the motivation remained the same: reaching people with the love of Jesus. We are an everyone church here…
Melissa Canas and Connie Ghere are both from the same small town in Oklahoma. Three years later and over 300 miles away God set up an unlikely encounter to change acquaintances into life-long friends. From Melissa: About 18 months ago I walked into the waiting room at my doctor’s office. While I was searching for an empty seat a woman was walking out and as I glanced at her I realized that I knew her. It took me a moment…

He’s constantly moving on our behalf—orchestrating divine encounters and placing people in our path to show us His love. We can often chalk these things up to chance, but if we pause to look back at our journey, we can see He’s been in every single detail. Today Jesse shares her story of how God moved in her life and used several different people along the way…
“Dad, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior!” These are the words that my son, Dalyn Frigaard, proclaimed to me one night after he attended Elevate at Milestone Church. Little did I know this was the beginning of our family transformation. I remember the excitement in Dalyn’s eyes as he started this journey. My first thought when Dalyn told me that he had become a Christian was that this was great because it will keep him around…
My name is Destiny Jones, and it’s hard to know where to even begin. There has been so much brokenness in my past that it would take hours to even put it all down on paper! Growing up, my home life was filled with physical abuse, dysfunction, divorce, and pain. I pretty much lived in the counselor’s office at school trying to deal with the issues of my family, but I realized that focusing on my school work was a…
