Communication can be a challenging struggle in any relationship. Being open, honest, and vulnerable is hard work, but that hard work is worth it. The good news is, there’s hope to be found in this area. Sarah and Travis Titterington’s story reminded us of that hope, and we wanted to share it with you. After committing themselves to walk through the Freedom process, Sarah and Travis experienced a major breakthrough in their marriage, and their family will never look the same. Today,…
We believe in empowering the next generation. It’s not hype or a mission statement—it’s at the core of who we are at Milestone Church. The process may look different for each student, but we believe they all have the opportunity to reach all that God has for them. Milestone has always been a place where you don’t see young people sitting on the sidelines—you see them in the game! They lead worship, speak on platforms, serve in teams, and lead…
Water baptisms are one of our favorite celebrations here at Milestone. Nearly 70 people from all different generations and different backgrounds took this step of faith last weekend. We saw a 67-year-old woman baptized right alongside two six-year-olds, a family of four brothers and sisters who come from a Muslim heritage, and families just like Jay Odem’s who all said “yes” to Jesus.

Sometimes it’s the little things that draw people in—simple things like delivering a box with popcorn, a travel mug, and information about Milestone to a new family in the neighborhood.

Belinda Poile shares her story with us today of how a Welcome Box brought her family to Milestone, take a look: In January 2017, we arrived in Texas. My husband…
