Trinity Lutheran Church

Special Needs Ministry

Trinity began its Special Needs program in 1973, which provided a ministry specifically designed for children and adults who are mentally challenged. Currently our Special Needs Program has more than twenty active participants.

The focus of our program is the Sunday morning routine. Sunday school class meets from 9:30 - 11:15 a.m. and includes Bible stories and other appropriate activities. The class attends church (11:15 - 12:15 pm) as a group. Attendees may also participate in our Special Needs choir and Special Needs handbell choir. Each choir occasionally performs and adds special praise to our worship services. Personal confirmation classes are available to our attendees (pending individual mental capacities and desires).

Trinity attempts to establish a social connection in addition to our more spiritually focused Sunday morning activities. We host special parties and social engagements, including our annual Special Needs Picnic and Bingo Extravaganza. We also encourage and assist those with interest in participation in Special Olympics.
