Children’s Faith Milestones
In Children’s Ministry at Athens First UMC, it is our honor to celebrate significant milestones as children grow in their faith.
Baptism | Infants
Baptism is the first of several faith milestones in our church. A faith milestone is a significant moment of in the faith journey of a child.
Tell Me the Stories | 3 Years Old
Our 3-year-old “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” Milestone is a sweet moment for some of our youngest disciples to begin to feed their excitement for God’s Word and stories from the Bible.
Holy Communion | 2nd Grade
Children in Grade 2 are invited to participate in the Holy Communion Milestone where they will learn about the elements of Holy Communion and its importance in their faith journey.
Bibles | 3rd Grade
The Bible Milestone is when children receive their very own Bible from their church family. This special Sunday is held each year in the Fall.
