We would love to chat with you more about what support your child needs on a Sunday Morning!

Whether it be developmental, ASD support, anxiety support, or other needs, we would love to come alongside you to help Sunday's be a safe & fun place where your child can grow and learn about Jesus.

If this applies to you and your family, we would ask that you start the process by filling out our Support Intake Plan Form.

Once the form is filled out, we will be in contact with you about more details and getting them set up with a buddy in class! 

Any questions about support, please reach out to Candice (candice@hopetoyou.com) or Emily (emily@hopetoyou.com). Candice has come on as our Support Ministry Coordinator and would love to chat with you.

The Buddy Program volunteers who will be paired up with children in our church to support them through routine during Sunday School. They will help the child follow the schedule and expectations, help make their time enjoyable, find ways for the child to participate and make connections with their peers. A buddy is not a babysitter. Buddies are there to come alongside a child who require support to participate in church life and help make Jesus known.

An ideal buddy is someone who is minimum age Grade 6, has a desire to serve, a willingness to learn, enjoys spending time with children and can be flexible. There will always be an adult on site to provide assistance.

We will need a current criminal record check (for volunteers 18+). Once our Buddy Program has launched you will be placed on the schedule 1-2 time per month through the Services app. On days you are scheduled you will be expected to join the morning meeting 30 minutes prior to service in the Preschool Classroom to receive a brief on where you will be, what the lesson is and notified of any changes in the schedule. Support Plans will need to be reviewed prior to Sunday School classes beginning.
