We have a place at Grace for adults and children with special needs. Jesus included them when He instructed His followers to "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." (Mark 16:15). Many people with special needs are passed by in our busy world but Jesus did not pass them by in His day. Here at Grace we offer opportunities to those with special needs so they can learn about our Lord Jesus and have fellowship within the body of Christ to help fulfill their purpose in life.

Our two Buddy Classes are specially designed to offer children with special needs a place to engage in enjoyable Bible lessons and activities without the over-stimulation of a large group setting.

Recharge! is a program offered periodically to families of children with special needs as well as their siblings. Mom and Dad get an opportunity to be rejuvenated while their children (those with special needs and those without) have fun at church with a group of caring volunteers. The children make new friends, enjoy a craft, play in the WOW! Room, and eat dinner together. This program is offered periodically throughout the year from 4 pm to 8 pm on certain Saturdays.

Wheelchairs are provided to those in need for both Adult Bible Fellowship classes and The Gathering Services at 9:00 and 10:30 each Sunday. A 'handicapped accessible' area is located in the WC auditorium where services are held.
