SPECIAL NEEDS
At Mission Hill Church, we believe that people are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character regardless of their earthly abilities. Our goal in the Special Needs Ministry is to provide a place for individuals of all ages with various disabilities, alongside their families, to develop a personal relationship with Jesus so that they can mirror His character here on earth and live with Him in eternity. We provide a variety of options at our Central Campus to allow individuals to be active in accomplishing our mission, to shine the light and love of Jesus like a city on a hill.
Mainstream classes, buddy systems, and a custom-designed classroom are just some ways Mission Hill Church becomes a place of security and growth for those with special needs. Our main goal is to connect you with Jesus while discovering your God-given gifts!

FOR ADULTS
We have a special needs adult community group during the 9:00 AM service on Sunday mornings which meets in the Preschool Hallway. This is a small class, designed to help adults with special needs understand God’s love and specific Bible concepts. This class allows caregivers the freedom to enjoy fellowship or worship during the same time.
