JOY Ministry

We are dedicated to providing environments that help develop the spiritual, physical & emotional lives of special needs children and students while also providing support for their families.

JOY Ministry loves and serves those with special needs, disabilities, and additional needs through encouragement, love, accommodations, and inclusive environments. Everyone is given the opportunity to worship, play, learn about Jesus and grow together with their peers in an age appropriate setting for each child and student. It's OUR greatest JOY to see ALL of God's children experience the deep love and care of Jesus Christ so that HE can become THEIR greatest JOY!

Time with God

Spending time with God, through Bible reading and prayer, is essential to growing in your relationship with Him. God desires for us to know him more and that happens when we meet him daily.

The Lord's Supper

The Lord’s Supper can be an amazing time of worship and reflection for your child. The key is to talk with them before the time comes so that they can watch or participate with an understanding of what’s taking place.
