Starting A Special Needs Ministry In Your Church

Is your church fully equipped with a special needs ministry? Is it ready to serve special needs children and their families?

The truth is, special needs families are exhausted, isolated, and often feel like their children don’t belong. Children with special needs, disabilities, chronic health conditions, and intellectual delays, rarely attend worship services.

These families feel like their needs are too much. And, they are often so exhausted, they skip church as a whole.

Why Special Needs Ministry?

But what if your church provided a lifeline of rest and support for these families? What if your church launched a special needs ministry or learned how to provide respite for full-time caregivers?

It’s clear, we are called to care for each other. So, how is your church caring for special needs families in your community? Every church can provide a lifeline of rest and support to these families.
