KIDS: CELEBRATING LIFE’S MILESTONE MOMENTS | Milestones

How do we guide children and families through life’s significant moments with purpose and faith? In this continuation of our ongoing series about student and kids ministries, host Jimmy Scroggins and co-host Leslee Bennett are joined by Zack Rickards and Gina Carmichael, key leaders in the Family Church Kids Ministry. Together, they unpack the Milestone Program, a thoughtful framework designed to help families mark key spiritual moments, from Parent-Child Dedication to Baptism and beyond. You’ll discover how intentional guidance and community support can significantly shape a child’s faith journey and equip parents for their pivotal role.

Key Points From This Episode:

  • The importance of marking significant events in a child’s spiritual journey.
  • An overview of our Kids Ministry milestones: Parent-Child Dedication, Kids’ New Believers Class, Baptism, and How to Have the Talk.
  • Gina’s perspective on how any church of any size could create a family program like this.
  • Ensuring readiness for the baptism milestone and the importance of parental involvement.
  • How to Have the Talk: equipping parents for key conversations on gender, sexuality, and tech.
  • Practical tips and inspiration to help church leaders launch their own kids’ ministry.
  • Kids Ministry and Student Ministry – puts the “family” in Family Church.
