Kids' Care Ministry

This ministry serves as a support ministry to St. Andrews Children's Clinic located in Nogales, AZ. The clinic is a nonprofit nondenominational clinic that reaches across the border - providing free specialized medical care to children living in northern Mexico who cannot get or afford the care they need in their home country. The children served suffer from a wide variety of serious medical challenges. Hundreds of children are treated on the first Thursday of each month for birth defects such as cleft palate, cleft lip, spina bifida, paralysis and severe epilepsy. They receive needed support for these defects in addition to necessary services including nutrition, medication, orthopedic devices/surgery, prostheses, wheelchairs, speech therapy and many other needed services.

​To find out more about the clinic, go here. If you have questions regarding our Kids' Care Ministry, please contact co-chairs Mark and Ruena Close or Deacon Grant Gilfeather.
