SPECIAL NEEDS
We focus on the abilities and God given gifts and talents of our members so they can use them to share Jesus with others in the church, community, and world.
If you have any questions regarding our special needs ministry, please contact Grant Giddens.
The Kirk Special Needs Ministry is dedicated to:
Sharing God’s love and word with individuals of all ages with developmental disabilities in our church and community
Providing opportunities for Christ-centered friendships to form between our members, volunteers and congregation
Equipping people with disabilities and their families to become full participants and contributors in the body of Christ and their communities
SUNDAY MORNINGS & NIGHTS
Faithful Buds
Faithful Buds is our ministry for adults with developmental disabilities. They meet Sunday morning and Sunday evening. Every Sunday, the members pray for each other, study the Bible, have a meal, and have plenty of time for socializing. Faithful Buds also participate in a variety of mission projects throughout the year and attend various events and activities within the Tulsa community. To top that all off, they host an annual talent show where ALL members perform and get the opportunity to showcase their talents to the congregation and friends and family.

Parents Night Out is held on the fourth Friday of every month. This event is open to families that attend The Kirk and have a child with developmental disabilities. When we have sufficient volunteers, this event will be open to the community. This is an opportunity for parents to have a night out while their children enjoy a fun evening of movies, games, snacks, crafts, and much more in a friendly, one-on-one environment.
This event takes place from 6:00 to 9:00 PM right here at The Kirk on the fourth Friday of every month.
