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!
Young Adult Experience
Participants with special needs (high school and older) will be able to connect intentionally with peers, attend worship together and experience a lesson that will help them grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Join us in person at 11:15 a.m. at our Raleigh or Apex campus.

Parents’ Night Out is a respite event for the parents and caregivers in our community who need it most. It is typically offered four times per year—twice in the spring and twice in the fall; rotating between Apex and Raleigh campus locations.
Parents/caregivers can drop off participants from 6:00–8:00 PM for an evening of fun and games* (while they have some time to themselves).
Eligible participants include:
- Individuals impacted by special needs (any age) and neurotypical siblings ages 12 and under.
- Foster children and biological/adopted siblings ages 12 and under.
- Children ages 12 and under from single-parent families.
*Guests are divided by age for developmentally appropriate games and activities in different environments – nursery/preschool, elementary and older teens/young adults.
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. CHECK BACK FOR SPRING DATES.
