Special Needs Ministry

A Safe, Supportive, and Inclusive Community
At The MET Church, we believe every individual is created by God with a unique purpose and a special place in His family. Our Special Needs Ministry isn’t just babysitting—it’s a space where children, teens, and adults of all abilities can encounter Jesus, build meaningful relationships, and experience God’s love in a nurturing environment. We focus on biblical teaching, worship, relational discipleship, and plenty of fun activities to create a true sense of belonging for every participant.
