SPECIAL NEEDS
At Chestnut Mountain Church, we believe every child is uniquely created in the image of God and plays a vital role in the body of Christ. Through our special needs ministry, we provide care and support to children with special needs through either our Self-Contained Room or our Buddy System. The Haven, our special needs ministry environment, is designed to provide a safe, inclusive, and joy-filled space where children with special needs can experience God’s love and be part of our church family. Our trained volunteers offer personalized support to help each child engage at their own pace—whether through worship, activities, or meaningful connection with others. Our heart is for every child to know they belong, are deeply loved, and have a place to grow in their faith. Join us on Sunday mornings at 10:45am. We ask that you please call ahead so we can make appropriate accommodations for your family.
Respites are designed to give parents/ guardians of with special needs much needed breaks. It is also a great way for our loved ones to find community and relationships within a supportive environment. This is a free service available to all ages and their siblings. Lunch is provided. All respites are Saturdays 11am-2pm.
Upcoming Respite Dates:
