BUDDY MINISTRY

OUR MISSION is to care for and support each child, just as the Shepherd seeks the one, while also coming alongside families—helping every child feel seen, loved, and fully included in the life of the church (Luke 15:4-7).

FAqs

What does it mean to be a part of the Buddy Ministry?
Being part of the Buddy Ministry means joining a community of believers who share the love of Christ by caring for and supporting children with special needs. Whether as a family or a volunteer, you are part of a team that prioritizes safety, builds relationships, and provides one-on-one support so each child can fully participate and feel known and loved.
I don’t feel qualified to serve as a Buddy—can I still volunteer?
Any child with special needs—including those with behavioral challenges or a diagnosed disability—who may benefit from extra support can be paired with a Buddy. We work with each family to best support their child.
What qualifies my child to receive a Buddy for one-on-one support?
Any child with special needs—including those with behavioral challenges or a diagnosed disability—who may benefit from extra support can be paired with a Buddy. We work with each family to best support their child.
