Special Needs - Access Ministry

Access Ministry supports and encourages individuals with special needs to recognize they are known, valued, and loved by God and by us.

In Access, we provide opportunities for the Holy Spirit to move in the lives of individuals with special needs, while partnering with parents and caregivers to be the spiritual leaders in their homes.

Our Goals

We extend Christ's love by:

  • Teaching individuals with special needs about Jesus
  • Providing opportunities for individuals with special needs and families to be fully integrated in the church body
  • Transforming community together with individuals and families impacted by special needs
