OUR VISION

Richland Creek's Special Needs Ministry exists to glorify God as we make disciples who make disciples. We accomplish this by loving God and loving others through reaching and cultivating relationships with families and servants in the special needs community. 


We believe that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to worship, learn, and serve in our church, regardless of their abilities. We regard special needs as different abilities rather than disabilities. We provide a Christ-centered environment with a person-centered emphasis to help individuals and families flourish in their unique abilities, as well as their collective spiritual growth. We seek to transform lives through heart-to-heart relationships and a foundation of trust that will extend to trusting others and trusting in Christ. We remain flexible and understanding that often times to the only constant is "consistent inconsistency."


  • To intentionally and systematically share the Good News of Jesus Christ with children and adults who have special needs and help them grow in their faith
  • To integrate children and adults with special needs and their families into the life of the church body
  • To welcome, support, and include the families of those with members who have special needs into the fellowship of Richland Creek Community Church
  • To reach out to the community and provide a safe and loving environment where individuals with special needs can worship God and learn about Jesus Christ
  • To nurture each individual's skills and abilities while learning about the Christian faith
  • To provide an opportunity for individuals with special needs to learn about God's love in a way that is accessible and understandable to them.
