We’re here to empower and provide support to individuals with special needs and their families by facilitating an accepting community in which to grow and develop in relationship with Christ.
Our program provides individualized support during weekend services and midweek ministries to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate in their ministry environment. We invite and encourage the full experience of belonging and being part of the life of the church!
Buddies
A Buddy is a person who provides one-on-one buddy care and friendship for children and youth with special needs. Kids (accompanied by their buddy) can participate and enjoy activities with children their own age.
If you are, or have an individual that you would like to participate in our Special Needs Ministry, or if you have a heart for serving as a Buddy, contact Michelle DeJong, Special Needs Coordinator.
