“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” – Psalm 139:13-14

What’s Happening Now

The Children’s Suite is in room 126 and serves our children with special needs through 6^th grade.

The teen class is located in room 114, and the adult class meets in A-121.

The Adult Helping Hands class will be meeting at 8:15 and 9:30 and the Children’s Suite and Teen rooms will be open at 9:30 and 11:00. We are also in need of volunteers who have a heart for working with our Special Needs students. Training is provided!

Helping Hands Ministry

Helping Hands provides ministry for persons with disabilities (babies through adulthood) and their families. It is our desire that people affected by disabilities and their families come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Just as God showed His great love and compassion, we want to follow our Lord’s example in reaching out to people who have disabilities.

About Special Needs:
* Our building meets the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Act which requires handicapped parking, ramps, doorways, and restrooms.
* Our children’s playground is ADA approved.
* If needed, designated parking is available near the entrance to the building, marked as “moms with babies.”

It’s Our Goal
* to provide instruction and social interaction to communicate God’s love and grace to individuals with special needs
* to provide support systems and curricula for special needs children, birth to 18 years, and adults
* to provide support and encouragement for families and adults, allowing them to find and participate in Bible study classes
* to provide training for volunteers to assist in all facets of the program
* to develop a support system for parents of special needs children
