Milestone: Baptism
Picture
A time when we become members of the Family of God. People of any age who have not been previously baptized can be baptized.

Milestone: Middle School
Picture
This milestone is for all children entering 6th grade. Middle School is a critical time for academic growth, social aspirations and it is also a time where our Middle School youth are invited to go on a journey through Confirmation classes. This milestone is a celebration of prayer and encouragement for our Middle School Youth and their families.

Blessing of the Backpacks: This blessing happens before school resumes for students, teachers, custodians, professors, librarians, and other school staff. We ask you to bring your backpack, school bag, briefcase, anything representing your vocation, to worship.

Milestone: Affirmation of Baptism  
Picture
We also call this Milestone Confirmation in recognition of the fact that the confirmand is affirming/confirming that he/she wants to continue keeping the promises that were made by others at his/her baptism. This is a celebration for all 9th graders and their families as they affirm their baptisms in early November.

Graduation Milestone
Picture
This faith milestone celebrates youth as they celebrate graduation from high school. This milestone consists of a recognition time for the student during both morning services for the family and an opportunity for the parent to bless their child as well as an opportunity to celebrate this important milestone with other families and friends.
