Buddies – Special Needs Ministry

Buddies at 12Stone is designed to provide inclusive support to help your children ages 2 through 5th grade with special needs transition smoothly into one of our worship environments with other peers.
Our goal is to help them participate at their comfort level, build a community of friends, and learn about the love of Jesus while receiving the intentional support of a Buddy.
For teens and adults with special needs, Buddies at 12Stone offers a place where your loved one can build relationships and grow in their faith through discipleship at our Lawrenceville and Snellville campuses.

Joining Buddies

Parents, before your loved one attend, please fill out the enrollment form. Once we receive your enrollment form, a Buddy will contact you about drop off and pick up procedures. After you have corresponded with our Buddy, you will start receiving a weekly text to register for the Sundays your loved one plans to attend. Please email Beth.reed@12stone.com with any questions.
