FOC | Milestones '24

We can connect with anyone worldwide at any moment, yet our world has slowly become more isolated and lonelier than ever before. If we aren’t careful, we might find ourselves on a parenting island - without community and feeling like we are the only ones experiencing the joys and hardships that come with raising kids who love Jesus.

At Milestones ’24, we want to help you discover the good gift and unlock the full potential of parenting within a Jesus-centered Family on Mission. Parenting is done best when done together.

We will host our Milestones ‘24 Conference for our Family of Churches at our Downtown Church on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

  • Doors Open, 8:30am; Event 9:00am - 1:00pm

  • Lunch will be provided for all attendees (including those in Kidtown)

  • Kidtown for the event will be provided. Kids will enjoy Camp Kidtown activities and lessons throughout the day. Snacks and drinks will also be provided throughout the day.

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.

Midtown College Spring Break | March 2-6

MARCH 2-6, 2024 | $249

Every year over USC's Spring Break, we take our college students on retreat where we can visit, have a blast, and worship Jesus through loving and serving people. This year’s destination is Panama City Florida!

We've taken the time below to answer some common questions you might have about the trip.

WHO CAN GO ON THE TRIP?

Anyone who is in college or college-aged can go.

WHAT WILL WE DO ON THE TRIP?

During the day, you and your group will serve with a local church, ministry, school, or organization. The type of work you'll be doing varies, but it's all done with the hope that the city of Columbia will be loved and served. Each afternoon after you leave your worksite, you'll have time to explore the city, and we'll have gatherings each night with music and preaching, similar to what we do on Sundays at the Gathering.

HOW WILL WE GET THERE?

You will travel to and from Panama City with the same group you'll serve with once you get there. This allows lots of time for group bonding before you even arrive. Usually, people's favorite part of the trip is the friendships they form as a part of their group.

I WANT TO GO, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD IT.

If you genuinely have a desire to go, but don't have the funds, email us and let us know your situation. We have some generous people in our church family who provide scholarships for the trip so that some people can go that don't have the money to pay. There may also be fundraising options available. While we may not be able to help out everyone, we'll do as much as we can to get you on this trip.

I WANT TO GO, BUT I'M NERVOUS THAT I WON'T KNOW ANYBODY.

We know going on a trip like this alone can be a little nerve-racking and awkward, but we assure you it'll be worth it. These trips are specifically structured to help you meet people and experience community. You'll get plenty of time to build relationships with your group. We've seen best friendships and LifeGroups grow out of relationships that started on these Spring Break trips, so don't let fear be the reason you don't go!

If you have any additional questions, please Elise Rendulic elise.rendulic@gmail.com

Recovery | Spring Launch

  • Midtown Fellowship: Barnwell Building (map)

Recovery is a group that meets in a 10-week cycle to help people achieve freedom and healing from issues that seem unbeatable in their lives. We meet Monday evenings at 6:00 pm in our Barnwell Building at 1614 Barnwell Street. We gather for a short time of worship and teaching; then, we break up into gender-specific small groups for discussion, encouragement, and prayer.

Recovery is for anyone facing a battle in their life—personal sin struggles, dealing with emotional scars, or any other issue. It's a safe, family environment where you can come and deal honestly and openly with your struggles and let Jesus begin to heal and free you amid biblical family.

For more information, visit our Recovery page.  

There is a $15 registration fee to attend this cycle. Childcare will not be provided.
