Walking together through life’s transitions

What is a peer partner?

Peer Partners is a simple way for people in our church community to walk alongside each other during life’s transitions. Whether someone is adjusting to a new baby, has a spouse who is deployed, is caring for a child with special needs, or just going through a tough season, we pair them with a caring peer from our church who is willing to check-in once a month — not as a counselor, but as a friend.

who is it for?

You might want a peer partner if you are:

  • Caring for a child with unique needs

  • Navigating a big life change (new job, divorce, elder care, etc.)

  • Welcoming a new baby

  • Temporarily homebound

  • Dealing with loneliness or emotional stress

  • A spouse of someone deployed or frequently away

You might make a great peer partner if you are:

  • Someone who enjoys listening and encouraging others

  • Comfortable holding space for another’s story without needing to fix it

  • Willing to show up with love and no judgment

  • Able to check in once a month for a year — in whatever way works best

What do Peer Partners Do?

We ask partners to connect once a month for 12 months, but how that looks is totally up to the two of you. Some possibilities:

  • Meeting for coffee, lunch, or a walk

  • Phone calls or video chats if in-person isn’t possible

  • Dropping by with a meal or card

  • Sharing a prayer, favorite quote, or just being together

No pressure. No agenda. Just mutual support and friendship rooted in our faith.

How It Works


1) Express Interest

Use the simple form below to let us know if you are a) looking for a peer partner or b) interested in becoming a peer partner.

2) Be Matched With a Partner

We match people with a light touch, meaning we will do our best to connect people based on shared availability, personality, or life experience.

3) Get Started

We’ll help the pair connect for a first chat — just to get acquainted and see what feels right.

4) Check-In Monthly

You set your own pace, but we suggest one intentional connection a month. The Peer Partner Coordinator will check in a few times during the year to see how things are going.

5) Wrap-Up & Renewal

After a year, you can decide to continue, change partners, or take a break. No pressure.

Guiding Values

  • Presence over performance

  • Friendship over fixing

  • Prayerful support over pressure

This ministry is about showing up — imperfectly and consistently — to remind one another we’re not alone.
