Special Needs Ministry
Special Needs Ministry
Our mission is to empower and provide support to individuals with special needs and their families by facilitating an accepting community in which to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Our program provides individualized support during weekend services to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate in their specific ministry environment. Additionally, we encourage individuals with special needs to serve their church community at a level that is appropriate for them. Everyone is welcome!
Night to Shine is Back IN PERSON
Hope is honored and excited to partner with the Tim Tebow Foundation in 2023 for the Seventh Annual Night to Shine on Friday, February 10 at our Apex campus. This unforgettable prom-night experience is centered on God’s love for people with special needs, ages 14+. It will be a night to remember!
Registration is now closed for guests and volunteers. We look forward to seeing you at the event!
