VISION AND PURPOSE
NUMC Special Needs Youth Ministry is dedicated to providing community for youth and adults with special needs to connect wtih on 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.
