Special Needs Ministry's Goals

To show families that we believe that each person is a unique creation of God.

To provide an opportunity to learn about God’s love in a way that is accessible.

To work to ensure each individual experiences success in the church setting.

Ministry Plan

Create an inviting and accepting church environment for all families.

Develop an appropriate accommodation plan that benefits the individual while working within the policies and resources of the church.

Along with the parents provide guidance, tools, and other resources to volunteers in the ministry to fulfill the accommodation plans.

Execution

For the purpose of the special needs ministry, the terms “additional needs,” “special needs,” and “disability” encompass a broad range of unique needs, including but not limited to: learning differences, intellectual disability, neurological disorder, developmental delays, communication disorder, social skills deficits, physical disabilities, sensory needs, and medical conditions. A young person experiencing a significant life change may also benefit from the services of the special needs ministry for a period of time.

The speical needs ministry does not provide therapy, behavior modification programs, or medical intervention. However, medical assistance will be provided in emergency situations.

Our Special Needs ministry is located in the Kid's building on the first floor in Room 124. This ministry offers a specialized environment for people with special needs at 10:30 A.M. on Sunday mornings. Dedicated volunteers give those with special needs the attention and care they deserve, so caregivers can attend worship.
