A few years ago Mike and Amber found themselves in a marriage crisis that seemed beyond repair. Last weekend they shared their inspiring story of healing and reconciliation with us. During our new marriage and family series, Dream House, Pastor Jeff encouraged us to hold on to hope. If you’re walking through a crisis or feel hopeless in your marriage, know this: God’s in the restoration business. We’ve seen so many marriages and families, just like Mike and Amber’s, rebuilt and brought…
On Saturday, April 8th, a sea of red shirts infiltrated the cities of Keller and McKinney with one purpose: to serve. Milestone’s first annual Serve Day was the largest mission effort in our history, as 1,500 volunteers served in over 30 compassion and clean-up projects around our community. Yet behind every repair made, trash bag collected, and basket delivered, the motivation remained the same: reaching people with the love of Jesus. When we care about people the way God cares…
It was in the cafetorium of a middle school in the Spring of 2003, amidst the familiar smell of cafeteria food and the hum of vending machines, that Jim and Jeanne Rogers first got a taste of spiritual family. Jim and Jeanne both had nearly 30 years of experience in a wide range of ministry environments. But in 2003, they found themselves in a season of searching. They not only wanted to find a church that was functioning according to…
We love celebrating stories of life-change at Milestone Church. There are powerful stories of transformation, salvation, and restoration happening every day in our midst. God’s been in the business of redemption and rescue from the beginning. From 32 people gathered in a hotel 15 years ago, to where we are now, and every step in between, stories have emerged. Marriages have been restored, hearts have been transformed, volunteers have served, and lives have been changed. We recognize there is value…
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,…
Break·through \’brak-,THrü\ noun 1. a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development. Have you ever needed a breakthrough? Maybe you need one right now…a sudden dramatic development in that circumstance that keeps you up at night. It could be your marriage that’s falling apart, an addiction you just can’t seem to kick, that challenging toddler (or teenager) you can’t get through to, or a bad medical report. Maybe it’s a financial crisis, infertility struggle, the desire…
One of the things we love most about the holidays at Milestone is Christmas Compassion. Our heart is to reach and serve our local community and be the hands and feet of Jesus. Through Joy, our Toy Drive, Adopt-a-Family, Christmas Compassion event, and the Evergreen Christmas party, the people of Milestone gave like never before. Over $800,000 in gifts were given to single moms and widows, $30,000 in toys and other gifts provided for families in need, and over 500…
