VISION AND PURPOSE
NUMC Special Needs Youth Ministry is dedicated to providing community for young adults with special needs to connect with one another in a safe, fun, and faith-based environment.
​
WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE GOT STARTED
​This Ministry began in January 2011 with the belief that every teenager, including those with special needs, face the challenge of ‘fitting in’. A new ministry was born out of the passion that every youth in our congregation should have the opportunity to participate and belong in the life of the church. A group was created as a place where special needs teens would be able to celebrate what makes them unique.
