What is “Special Needs” at FCCHB?
Special Needs at FCCHB is defined as:
A need any student has that requires some planning in order to ensure that their church experience is safe. Special Needs may include severe allergies, medical issues, or cognitive (such as thinking, reasoning, or remembering) differences.
At FCCHB, we remove all barriers and exhaust all resources in leading people to Jesus. We want your child to be able to experience our amazing Kids Programs whether they have a social, physical, mental, or developmental difference.
For some students (K - 8th grade), we can provide a Buddy for our Sunday morning services, as well as for students (6-12th grade) in our Youth programs (Elevate & Core). Our Buddies are trained volunteers who are comfortable relating to each student based on their individual needs. They help provide a safe church experience while your child is in a group with their peers. For other students who don’t need a Buddy, we make sure to provide accommodations, as well as resources to help aid their weekend experience.
We want everyone to experience grace and discover purpose, and will do whatever we can to help students with special needs be a part of that!
I want to involve my child in this program.
