Children's Special Kids Class
The Children's Special Kids Class (for children with special needs) provides a safe, loving environment including worship, singing, lessons, art, fellowship, and a light snack during the 9:15 and 10:45 a.m. worship and Sunday School times. This allows families to attend both Sunday School and worship services while knowing that their child's needs are being addressed and met according to their ability. Kindergarten and up meets in Rooms 131 and 133. For information on the Adult Special Friends class, click here.
Your children's teachers are two super couples (Joe & Lisa Cox and Dena & Dana Cull) who are completely devoted to this ministry. Not only are they involved in Special needs at church, but also in our community.
Our Mission Verse and Statement: Jesus said "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14, NIV)
We believe the Bible when it says that every child is precious in God's eyes. Jesus did not imply that physical, emotional, or intellectual challenges change this fact. Believing this, the Special Kids Ministry is:
- A classroom that emphasizes the reading and discussion of God's Word, along with prayer, while trusting the Holy Spirit to work within each child.
- Striving to offer a refuge of acceptance and unconditional love in which each child can experience God and come to know Him better.
- Striving to provide a ministry of "Reaching, Caring, and Teaching" to children in our area with special needs and their families. It is our deepest desire that no child or family would be unable to worship due to a child's special needs.
