We are excited to introduce our Buddy Ministry, a special needs ministry designed for children ages 3–12.
Our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and joyful environment where every child can experience God's love, build
friendships, and grow in faith at their own pace.

We believe every child is wonderfully made and deeply loved by God.

What is Buddy Ministry?
Buddy Ministry pairs children with trained volunteers (“buddies”) who provide encouragement and support during
church activities.

Our buddies help children:
✔ Participate in Bible lessons and activities
✔ Navigate social situations and transitions
✔ Feel safe and included
✔ Learn and grow in ways that work best for them
Each child is different, and our goal is to meet them where they are.

Who Can Participate?
Buddy Ministry is open to children ages 3–12 who may benefit from additional support, including children with:

• Autism
• ADHD
• Sensory sensitivities
• Developmental delays
• Learning differences
• Physical disabilities
• Anxiety or social challenges

If your child would benefit from extra patience, structure, or individualized support, this ministry is for you.

What does a typical time look like?
Each gathering may include:
📖 Bible stories shared in engaging and simple ways
🎨 Hands-on crafts and activities
🎵 Music and movement
🧸 A quiet sensory space if a child needs a break
