Special needs
Special Edition Ministry is designed to give one-on-one care for students from toddler age to young adults who live with a neurological or physical challenge. Grace Church believes that everyone is special to God and that He has a plan and purpose for each of us.
We minister to those with a variety of special needs such as:
✔️ Downs Syndrome ✔️ Autism ✔️Seizure Disorder ✔️ADHD ✔️Cerebral Palsy
While in Special Edition they will experience a time of worship, Bible stories, prayer, fun play time and a lot of love!
If you have or know someone who would benefit from this ministry, we encourage you to contact our special Edition coordinators. We would love for you to schedule a visit to see us in action. Complete the form below or email Hannah Willburn: hwillburn@gracestl.org.
We meet in the Gymnasium every Sunday during the 10 am service.
