The Special Needs Ministry at Central serves to fulfill the call of Christ to love others and make disciples.
We desire to give individuals with special needs the opportunity to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and friend and to help everyone discover their unique set of gifts and talents which God has given us so that we may steward them well, serving others.
Our ministry serves kids, Kinder through 5th grade, with special needs.
Please contact the Special Needs Ministry Team at specialneeds@centralbcs.org prior to your first visit so we can best serve your family!
Sunday Mornings
We desire to provide the support your child needs to thrive here at Central. We have inclusion opportunities and a self contained wing which allows children with special needs to thrive in the environment that best serves them.
Our main rooms are located in the main church building in our B-Wing downstairs. We serve kids in the special needs wing both hours (during the church service and life groups.)
The Special Needs classrooms are specially designed to accommodate those various disabilities. Some of these accommodations include: modified equipment, sensory activities, light covers/alternative lighting, an overall comfortable and safe environment, and Christ-centered multi-sensory curriculum to best minister to each child.
Chosen is a unique Sunday School/Life Group class designed for adults with intellectual disabilities. This class offers fellowship, acceptance, a sense of belonging, and challenges each member as we study the Bible together, growing in relationship with Christ and with one another.
Chosen meets in Room B106 from 11am-12pm
