Special Needs Community

Here at Grace Community Church we desire to help ALL people FIND, KNOW, and FOLLOW Jesus. This includes individuals with special needs.

Our Special Needs Community is working hard to accommodate those with special needs.

Right now, we can offer: wheelchair accessible buildings, bathrooms with handicap-accessible stalls, a large treatment table in our Life Center for diaper changes for bigger children and adults, special needs classroom available for adults with special needs for first service (9:30 am), and special needs classroom available for children for second service (11:00 am), and a support group for the parents and caregivers of individuals with special needs called Navigating with Hope.

We are also seeking to offer ways our Special Needs Community can give back to the church using their unique gifts and talents. One of our individuals with special needs prepares the communion trays for Sunday services. And two special needs individuals serve on our hospitality team.

You can email us if you have any questions: Special Needs Community
