We consider it a privilege and a call from God to reach out to those who have disabilities because this ministry is from the heart of God. We are committed to serving and empowering our Special Friends to become vital members of the body of Christ.  SIDE-BY-SIDE  Our Special Friends ministry partners volunteers side-by-side with your special needs child. As a team they go in the child’s appropriate classroom, so that he/she can fully participate in their program.
