Our growing Special Needs Ministry is also known as the Precious Jewels. The primary aim of this ministry is to support children with special needs and their families and allow the children the opportunity to learn about Jesus Christ in a safe and loving environment where their individual needs can also be met.

Advance Registration
As part of ensuring your children's safety, we require completion of a registration form before leaving a child with us for class. Please complete the form available below before dropping off your child for the first time or print out the PDF version and send it in advance to the church office.
