In Christ we are one body with many parts—each a unique gift of God to the church. Our vision is to be a local expression of "the Body" where people with special needs are welcomed, loved, and cared for in practical ways, and where they are able to serve and meaningfully engage in the life of the church.

The Coordinator for Disability Ministry oversees our ministry to those with special needs for all campuses. For more information about any aspect of our Disability Ministry/Special Needs, contact Brenda Fischer (612-746-2650 ext. 675).
