A Vital Partnership Between Home and Congregation
For more than 17 years, Vibrant Faith Ministries has coached congregations across the country to help them develop and implement Milestones Ministry programs. Building on this rich history, we’ve recently launched new resources, training and consulting opportunities to help congregations deepen the impact and expand the outreach of Milestones Ministry in people’s faith lives. We invite you to explore our website to learn more!
What is a Milestone?
A milestone is a meaningful, memorable moment in the lives of individuals and communities.
What is Vibrant Faith Ministries’ Milestones Ministry?
Milestones Ministry provides a faith milestone as a marker along life’s journey that says, “This is something important, and God is here, too.” It is a faith formation practice for both home and congregation that helps all generations recognize God’s presence in everyday life. Vibrant Faith Ministries’ Milestones Ministry program offers the following benefits:
- Helps households and congregations nurture the Christian faith through life’s milestones, such as baptism, weddings, confirmation, beginning school, getting a driver’s license, graduation, anniversaries, retirement and more
- Provides a clear and usable model to connect faith with daily life experiences
- Promotes Christian faith formation and outreach into the larger community
- Uses a simple structure and the Four Keys faith practices to deepen the Christian foundation in people’s lives
