The church is the Body of Christ, and each member has its function. As Paul writes in Ephesians 4:11–13, “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.” One of the ways God provides for His church is through the work of so many valuable volunteers.
Second and third graders and their parents look throughout their home for pens, pencils, highlighters, and sticky notes as they prepare to dig into the Bible together at home—along with other families in their church at the same age and stage! This is just one of the ways churches can engage families in the time after their child is baptized and before their child is confirmed. This is what Milestone Ministry is all about.
