The Children’s Ministry at St. Andrew’s warmly invites you and your family to participate in Super Friends, a once-a-month gathering created especially for parents of children with special needs and their children.
We understand that parenting a child with special needs can sometimes feel isolating, and our hope is to walk alongside you in your unique parenting journey. Super Friends is designed to offer encouragement, connection, and support, while also creating a space for you to build relationships with other parents who share similar experiences.
While parents gather together, our Children’s Ministry staff and volunteers will spend time with your children, guiding them through meaningful activities that nurture their individual spiritual development. We joyfully welcome children of all abilities into our Sunday School, VBS, and other ministry programs. At the same time, we recognize that some children may benefit from additional support and reinforcement as they learn and grow in their faith.
Through Super Friends, we want every child to know they are deeply loved by God and created with purpose. They truly are Super Friends of God—uniquely and wonderfully made. Siblings are welcome to attend as well.
Super Friends meets on the first Sunday of the month from 10:30–11:15 am in the lower level of the Southwest Campus. The 2026 dates are Jan 4, Feb 1, Mar 1, May 3, July 5, Aug 2, Oct 4, Nov 1, and Dec 6.
We look forward to supporting you and your family!
