We are so excited for an upgrade to our Special Needs Ministry! Starting October 3rd, during our 11:00am service, we will be holding an adapted classroom for friends of all ages who have special needs and disabilities!
We want to ensure that as a church, we are caring, serving, and spreading the love of Jesus to everyone, and every family. This is one new way we can do that. Through an adapted classroom setting, we will have sensory spaces, adapted curriculum, and dedicated volunteers ready to help your child thrive in any way they can.
We need YOU! If you would like to volunteer in this room, please reach out to the program coordinator, Anna Birschbach, or our Community Kids Director, Wendy Lenz-Schwersenska.
If you know of a family that could benefit from having a safe space for their child to go and learn about Jesus, please have them reach out to us. We are ready to welcome new friends into our program!
