Buddy System

Our Buddy System helps kids participate in Children’s Ministry, Middle School Ministry, or the Main Service with support from a trained Dream Team buddy. If you’re interested in this option for your child, please inquire at check-in. Our team will evaluate each child’s needs individually to determine if a Buddy is the right fit.
