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.

Buddies at 12Stone is a welcoming place for teens and adults with disabilities or unique needs to grow in faith, build friendships, and feel truly known.
Each gathering is designed to celebrate every person’s gifts while offering a safe, supportive space where they can belong and thrive.
Buddies at 12Stone is designed to be like a small-group experience that encourages connection, conversation, and community, giving each person the opportunity to share, ask questions, and grow at their own pace. Through hands-on activities, interactive lessons, and engaging discussions, participants learn about the Bible in ways that are approachable, meaningful, and fun. Buddies at 12Stone place where faith is nurtured, friendships are formed, and everyone is valued as an important part of the group.
From the moment participants arrive, they are invited to be part of the experience through meaningful roles, like serving as greeters and helping create a warm and joyful environment for everyone who walks through the door.
