PeachtreeChurch.org/ChildrenFamily Peachtree’s Faith Milestones program provides a tangible way of marking our children’s growth in faith and providing a path of experiences they can remember as they celebrate God at work in their lives. These celebrations remind us that we travel this journey together in community and give us a chance to pause during these important moments and acknowledge God’s presence and faithfulness.

Faith Milestone celebrations are opportunities for parents and children to experience shared conversation and activities around a faith topic such as worship, God’s word, and prayer. Peachtree’s Faith Milestones ensure a celebration for each child each school year and are “don’t miss” opportunities for families.
