Each Milestone consists of two classes happening simultaneously: one for the parents of the designated age group and the other for the child (except for Parent Commitment, there will only be an adult class). Childcare will be provided for any additional children. Classes involving 7th-12th graders will be structured a bit differently in that the parents and students will meet together. Resources will also be given to the family during the class as a gift from our kids ministry program.
