A place for love.
Special Needs Ministry
SUNDAYS, 9 and 10:45am
Our goal is for children of all abilities to experience the joy of belonging and connection while learning about Jesus. Children with disabilities may be paired with a trained buddy who will provide the support they need while participating with peers in their age-appropriate classrooms. We also have sensory-friendly spaces that have been adapted specifically for children who could benefit from a less-stimulating environment.
What Is a Buddy?
Our desire is to make sure every child and family who walks through our doors feels seen and known. We know that some children will be most successful with the loving support of a one-on-one buddy. A buddy’s role is to help foster a trusted relationship with the child they are partnered with, so that the child is able to fully experience church in community. If you feel like your child or loved one would benefit from one-on-one support, please reach out to us prior to your visit. Please CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT THE INTAKE FORM. You will then be contacted by our Lakeside Kids Special Needs Coordinator with next steps.
We look forward to partnering with your family!
