What is it:
Family Milestone is a simple step-by-step approach to help parents become the primary faith influencers in their child’s life.
HTFW focuses on five milestones that every person growing in his or her relationship with Christ should experience. These milestones serve as markers of progression on the spiritual formation journey. When a person reaches a milestone, that growth is celebrated for how God is working in their life and to serve as motivation to continue walking their faith journey! We want to see all the children at HTFW reach these milestones. We have set up classes as a way to partner with parents and help equip them as they lead their children. We encourage every parent to attend!
