Our Mission
What We Do, and Why
The Special Needs Ministry is here to serve; meeting the spiritual, physical, and social needs of children, teens, and adults with disabilities.
One major aspect of Jesus Christ's ministry on earth was His outreach to people who had disabilities. He repeatedly invited individuals who were blind, deaf, lame, and sick to enter the kingdom of God by trusting Him as their Savior. Jesus also worked mightily in their lives by healing them.
People with disabilities were at the forefront of much of what happened in Jesus’ earthly ministry. Then as well as now, they have a very important role in God's work on earth. Through them, He demonstrates His great power, love, and mercy to the world.
Our Goals
- To understand and implement the biblical principles of disability ministry
- To hold to a ministry philosophy that is inclusive
- To intentionally and systematically share the Good News of Jesus Christ with people who have disabilities and help them grow in their faith
- To integrate people with disabilities into the life of the church body, giving them the opportunity to have active roles in serving God
- To support the families of the disabled through counseling, if needed
- To provide Special Needs Ministry staff who are trained to minister to the disabled
- To serve as a witness to the community by meeting the spiritual, physical, and social needs of disabled persons
