We believe that individuals with special needs are important to God and the church. We understand that families with children who have special needs have unique challenges, and we are here to support families in any way we can. We know all kids are capable of knowing Jesus as their Forever Friend and sharing His unconditional love with others, and therefore provide various environments for children and youth with special needs to be successfully reached, connected, formed, and sent, while ministering to their families in the process.
Our ministries include our monthly Respite Night and our Exceptional Entrepreneurs job skills program.

Director of Care Ministries
The Exceptional Entrepreneurs foster a safe, nurturing environment where the issues of poverty, unemployment, and the stigma of insignificance are being impacted through job training, supportive transition, and entrepreneurship opportunities.
Grace Church's Respite Night is a special evening designed to provide parents and caregivers of individuals with special needs a much-needed break while sharing the love of Jesus. Our program is tailored to support both children and adults, ensuring everyone has a fun and engaging time in a safe and welcoming environment.
Each children's respite night is themed, offering a variety of exciting activities and entertainment that cater to their interests and needs. From arts and crafts to interactive games, themed parties, and sensory-friendly experiences, our dedicated team ensures that every child has a memorable and enjoyable evening.
Our adult respite night, known as the VIP Party, offers a relaxed and social atmosphere where adults with special needs can connect, unwind, and enjoy a variety of activities. From music and dancing to games and socializing, the VIP Party provides a vibrant and inclusive space for adults to have fun, make new friends, and feel the love of Jesus in a supportive community.
On the first Sunday of every month, we host a special worship service at 11am in the Youth Room designed for adults with special needs. This is a time for worship, connection, and building community in a welcoming space where everyone is celebrated! Join us!
Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs, ages 14 and older. We are blessed to be a part of this growing worldwide movement through the local church where thousands of people with special needs will be celebrated, given the royal treatment, and reminded of God’s love for them!
