Spiritual maturity is a lifelong process beginning the day you are born and continues throughout life. At Lifehouse we believe that God always has it in his heart to take people on a spiritual journey to know God, to find freedom, to discover their purpose, and to make a difference. And this includes your family.
We believe God designed the church and the home to work together to take the next generation on this journey. While God designed parents to be the uniquely perfect, primary faith trainers of their children, the church is called to come alongside families to equip them to lead their children as they develop. If the church and family are to work together to raise a generation of believers, we need a common path to walk on. We call this the path of Legacy Milestones. This path begins and is lived out in your homes. Along the Legacy Path, our LH Kids and LH Youth ministries will join you to guide your family through discipling and celebrating each of the milestones at each of your child's different phases of life.
“These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
Deuteronomy 6:6-9 NIV
