About Us
Special Friends ministers to families of children with Special Needs focusing on the strengths of everyone individually to allow for spiritual growth so that they can come to know the Love of Jesus Christ. It is our desire to Teach Jesus, love our friends well, and keep them safe while in our care. We are excited to watch our Special Friends grow in their faith and enjoy community together while becoming disciples of Jesus Christ. We welcome all abilities to join us.
