Children's Special Needs

Here at the Kirk your children are important to us. There are many areas for children with disabilities to be involved spiritually and socially. That may be on Sunday mornings with our "Special Buds" or Wednesday evenings while parents attend classes, they may also want to be a part of our "Friday Night Owl"s. Whatever program your children are in, you can know they will be loved and cared for.

Special Buds are adults and teenagers from the Kirk that lovingly share their time and faith with children from our congregation with special needs and disabilities. In addition to addressing the special needs of the children, the program also allows the children's parents to attend Sunday School and an 11:00 church service.

Sunday Mornings

Sunday 9:30 am
Individuals of all ages with special needs can either attend Sunday School class or church service with a Buddy (an adult or teenage volunteer from the Kirk) or go into the Special Buds classroom and work one on one with a volunteer at that time.

YouthSunday 11:00 am
Class is held during the 11:00 am hour each week in for individuals with special needs and disabilities. While the individuals are attending the class, their parents have the opportunity to go to church or Sunday School. A Bible lesson is taught each week and students do a craft, pray and have snacks together. Student to Buddy ratio is one to one. The special needs room (B21) is located on the ground floor and has easy access from the southwest side.
