There are many ways you can support individuals and families impacted by disabilities in our church and community. Our GIFT Ministry (God Is Faithful Throughout) serves more than 100 families with special needs, and we welcome volunteers to serve in our programs. We’ve also included ideas and resources below to help you support, encourage, and advocate for those with special needs and their families in our community.
