Our ministry serves youth grades 6th-12th who desire to know Christ in community and fellowship alongside their peers. During Sunday mornings and on Wednesday evenings we desire to provide the assistance your teen may need to thrive here at Central.

Please contact the Special Needs Director prior to your first visit so we can best serve your family! The button below will direct you to our 'FORMS' page so you can fill out the necessary information (Informational Packet and Medical/Media Release forms) at a time that is convenient for you:

FORMS

Sunday Mornings

We have inclusion opportunities, a sensory room, and a 'home-base' room that allows teens with special needs to thrive in the environment that best serves them on a given Sunday.

Our main rooms are located in the FLC (Family Life Center): F109 (The Hangout/Sensory Room), F107 (Base Camp/'Home-base' Room). 

We serve teens in our FLC classrooms at both the Sunday School and Service times.

The Special Needs classrooms are specially designed to accommodate those various disabilities. Some of these accommodations include: modified equipment, sensory activities, light covers/alternative lighting, an overall comfortable and safe environment, and Christ-centered multi-sensory curriculum to best minister to each child.

INCLUSION with support

Sunday School is at 11am-12pm
Ages 6th-12th grade (including 19+ programs)
Upstairs, Youth Wing

The Youth Ministry meets for Sunday School upstairs in the main building and for our teens who are mainstreamed, this is where they will journey to once they connect with their buddy (if applicable).

During the Service hour, we encourage our families to worship together if your child is best served in this fashion. Many of our youth with special needs serve as helpers during this hour as well in both our children's ministry and/or special need's ministry with an aide, alongside their typical peers who also serve.

Our focus on Sunday mornings is to provide a structured and compassionate environment to help each individual grow in their walk with Christ!

Wednesday Nights

Teens with special needs are supported and included into the following program, available to all 6th-12th graders:

Wednesday Night Live: 6:06pm-7:07pm

*If you have a 9th-12th grader with special needs who desires to attend Checkpoint on Wednesday night, please contact the Special Needs Director.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young. Set an example for the believers in what you say and in how you live. Also set an example in how you love and in what you believe. Show the believers how to be pure.” 1 Timothy 4:12
