Special Friends Ministry

Welcomed, Valued, Celebrated

In February of 2018, St. Patrick launched a ministry called Special Friends, where we welcome and serve families with unique needs in our community. Every person is fearfully and wonderfully made and wanted just as they are (Psalm 139). Our desire is to set a safe, welcoming, fun, and inclusive place at our table for families with special needs.

Our ministry provides various opportunities throughout the year for individuals of all ages and abilities to participate in fellowship, build community, and have fun! Mark your calendars for our upcoming events listed below, and check back registration openings.


special friends sunday mornings: weekly, from 10:15-11:45am, parents/caregivers are encouraged to attend our worship service during this time. To pre-register for a Sunday morning visit, please fill out this Special Friends Form so we can be prepared to welcome and serve your family and know how to accommodate your specific needs.



Leena was amazing with Adam. She was so sweet and attentive. He loved the movie projector and just hanging out. Yesterday morning as I was getting him up for school he said “can I get my church bag and go to church?” Tears! So, yes, it was a good experience for him. I know we may have a few bumps along the way but we were encouraged and so thankful for our church.
