In case you missed it, we wanted to share a replay of our recent webinar on Establishing Meaningful Rites of Passage for Teenagers in the Church.
Panelists Andy Cornett, Cam Potts, and Justin Wong and host Chelsea Erickson share from their experiences creating “milestones” for their local church contexts. They reflect on the significance of rites of passage for youth, children, and their families, offering suggested steps to implement milestones in your ministry.
Our panelists and host mentioned several resources to help as you consider expanding the milestones you offer to children, teenagers, and families.
