Buddy Ministry

Children (birth - 6th grade) who need extra assistance will be matched with a “Buddy,” a specially-trained volunteer who will get to know you and your child personally and provide needed assistance in class. Our goal is for you and your child to experience faith-filled, authentic inclusion.

If you are interested in requesting a Buddy:

  1. Contact Laney Morrissey, or Children's Coordinator for Buddy Ministry
    ).
  2. Set up a meeting time to be oriented to our Buddy process.
  3. Develop a personal care plan for your Buddy to follow.

We will then begin the process of matching a Buddy to your child. We desire to have a God-inspired match between the two, so this may take some time.

Lift

This gathering is designed for students with special needs (7th Grade and up). Lift meets Sundays at 9:35am in the small house on our campus called “The Spot.” This weekly class includes music, a Bible lesson, crafts, prayer time, and games presented in a way that the students can apply biblical truths to their lives.
