SPECIAL NEEDS

We offer three amazing special-needs classes for children, teens and adults as we seek to meet the needs of our special-needs community.  Our adaptive classes provide nurturing, safe environments for those with mild to moderately severe disabilities. We work hard to support and encourage the whole family by listening to unique challenges, providing modified instruction and modeling the love of Christ. We offer self-contained classes on Sunday mornings and a Sunday evening program for students with special needs. We also assist with mainstreaming into our typical programs as appropriate.
