Indispensable (Special Needs Ministry)

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body–Jews or Greeks, slaves or free–and all were made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.

(1 Corinthians 12:12-26)

Our Mission

The goal of our ministry is to love and serve our members with disabilities so that the power of Christ might be displayed in them. We endeavor to support and equip these members of our body of Christ so that they can be better trained to know the Gospel and to share their faith to their communities. 

What We Do

1. We provide shadows for children with disabilities so that they can participate in children’s ministry, Sunday service and church-wide events.
2. We encourage awareness and integration through our Buddy Ministry in Youth Program and other special events.
3. We facilitate discussion groups for parents to support and connect with one another.
4. We provide respite so that families can get a much-needed break.
