Milestones '23

Each milestone in a child's life can be a beautiful source of joy. Yet at the same time, these changes can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unprepared. At our Milestones '23 Conference, we will highlight core, biblical parenting foundations to help you navigate each milestone in your child's life, from birth to graduation. You'll never be ready, but you can be prepared!

We will host our Milestones Conference for our Family of Churches at our Downtown Church on May 6, 2023 from 9:00am-1:00pm. Childcare will be provided throughout the event.

For more information, email here.

Milestones’ vision is to train parents to be the most confident, well-equipped, joy-filled parents they can possibly be. Every year we host a conference weekend with the goal of encouraging and engaging parents with Jesus’ transformative power in our lives.

Ash Wednesday Service | February 22

  • Midtown Fellowship: Lexington (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We will celebrate Ash Wednesday at 6:30pm on Wednesday, February 22.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, which began in the early days of the Church as a time of preparation for those seeking to be baptized at Easter. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten Fast throughout church history.

Throughout the Old Testament, ashes are used as a sign of sorrow and repentance. Christians have traditionally used ashes to indicate sorrow for our own sin and as a reminder that the wages of our sin is death (Romans 6:2). Like Adam and Eve, we have disobeyed and rebelled against God and are under the same judgment, “you are dust, and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19).

As we are marked with ashes, we are also reminded of the life we share in Jesus Christ, the second Adam (Romans 5:17, 6:4). It is in this sure hope that we begin the journey of these forty days; by hearing and answering our Savior’s call to repent, we may enter fully into the joyful celebration of His resurrection.

Childcare will not be available.
