Special Needs Ministry
The Wonderfully Made Ministry serves individuals of all abilities. Our mission is to connect those with special needs and their families with Jesus Christ. For our children, teens and adults, we have both a self-contained learning environment and an inclusive approach. Inclusion is our goal, but we do consider safety and family preferences. We work closely with families, so that our buddies and mentors can help each individual feel loved, while connecting with Jesus Christ at his or her level.
