Special Needs
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” – MATTHEW 19:14
What to Expect
Our Connect Groups for individuals with special needs meet on Sunday mornings. We love seeing individuals from this community connect with God and with one another through the church and we love seeing parents find the support and care they need as well.
At Spotswood, our desire is to display the love of Christ to every individual.
Every Sunday, we open God’s Word together using visuals that enhance each week’s lesson. We also make time for crafts, activities, and games Your student will enjoy the wide range of experiences we offer in a safe, peaceful, and joy-filled environment.
plan your visit
Send a quick email to our Special Needs Coordinator, Debbie Anibal, at [email protected], to set up a meet & greet.
Meet with Debbie and complete an intake form so we can get to know your student better and make a plan that’s best for them.
Once we have a plan, we would love for you to come visit a class and meet our great team of volunteers that teach and assist in the classroom.
