Our desire is to serve families affected by disability. We have ministry opportunities available for all ages, from birth to adulthood. We believe all should be invited to know the love of Christ and use their gifts to serve Him.
Our ministry exists to provide a Gospel-centered, inclusive environment for individuals with special needs. We want to serve these individuals and to partner with their families as they participate in the life of the church.
In most situations, we use the buddy system where the individual is matched with a buddy who will provide individual care in a classroom of peers or in our Special Needs & Disability Ministry area.
Do I need to contact the church prior to attending in order to have a buddy available?
Yes. Our ministry team desires to connect with you to develop a plan that best supports your child and your family.
What does a buddy do?
Buddies act as a support to our ministry participants. The primary goal is to help each child hear and understand the Gospel. Each buddy’s role may differ depending on the individual needs of the child.
Is support available for church-wide events?
Our 6-12th grade students have the option to participate in Fellowship Student Ministry worship and teaching time. Students also have the opportunity to attend Cell Group with their peers during the week. If a buddy is required for either setting, please talk to the Special Needs & Disability Ministry team and we can find a plan that best works for your student.
Our Rogers Campus is a bEfriend site, offering monthly gatherings for adults experiencing disability. bEfriend meets once a month to have fun and develop intentional friendships. Visit 99balloons.org/bEfriend to learn more. To sign-up, contact Morgan Ward.
The vision of Fellowship's Special Needs & Disability Ministry is to share the love of Jesus Christ with families affected by disability. There are many ways to be a friend to a family experiencing disability.
