Families who have a member with special needs often believe that church is not an option for them. And unfortunately, that is sometimes confirmed when churches turn them away! We are passionate about equipping ALL churches to serve EVERYONE who comes through their doors.
“Special Needs Ministry” is not a cherry-on-top ministry… it is simply a way to live out the Great Commision: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28: 19-20
If you are interested in learning more about how to make your church more inclusive, we have a variety of resources on the Special Needs Connect website. We also have a networking group that meets monthly to discuss various topics related to serving individuals who need specialized support. We meet in-person in the DFW area, but often offer a Zoom option for those who live further away. You can register for the group here.
And finally, if you would like to talk directly with someone about a specific challenge or question, you can reach out via our “contact” page to schedule a phone call, Zoom meeting, or site visit!
