We never outgrow taking steps. In 2016, Holly was a single mom raising a young son. She took a step and signed up to get some help structuring her finances here at Milestone. Though she hoped to gain some important financial principles, as she took this journey with other single moms in her group she ended up getting much more than she expected. Three years later, Holly is now married and she and her husband Chase and son Jenson are expecting a new addition…
Shawn Peterson was a professed agnostic (an atheist believes there is no God, while an agnostic doesn’t think we can know) and vocal about his negative opinions toward Christianity. In 2017 he found himself needing a miracle. Medical problems and other personal challenges left him feeling hopeless and he even contemplated taking his own life. But it was a simple invitation to come to church from his sister that changed the course of his life forever. “I was dealing with terrible exhaustion and…

Today, Stewart Pearcy shares how this group of strangers became spiritual family and how God is now using them to influence the lives of others. “In a step of faith, my wife and I joined a Small…

Today, we want to show you another piece of their story. The truth is, behind every godly man there is usually a praying grandmother, mother, or wife. Ginger Guerra paved the way for her family through a Christian’s most powerful tool—prayer. “I gave my life to Christ a year and a half…

Every spring we have our Battle of the Sexes retreat (BOTS) where teenagers set aside time to seek God by understanding the importance of purity, dating, and relationships. This is one of the most stressful and confusing issues for young people today. But when they get in this environment and experience God’s love something radical happens. Kendyl’s story is just one…
