Special Needs

Every person is created in the image of God and is designed to live in a spiritual community.

Special Ministry

A place where everyone belongs

Our mission is to create an inclusive, supportive environment where people of all abilities can experience the love of Jesus, grow in faith, and be embraced as an integral part of the body of Christ.

We are committed to ensuring that every person and family can fully participate in church life, experience God’s love, and build meaningful connections. Through compassionate care and intentional support, our team seeks to make church accessible, comfortable, and enriching for everyone.

Sensory Room

We provide a sensory room for any child of any age who may need a sensory break from their peer-aged classroom. Our sensory room has calming toys + activities to help all feel welcome.

1 to 1 Buddy

Our committed and trained buddies pair 1:1 with a person of any age who needs extra support during our Sunday morning programs. Regardless of an individual's needs, we desire that they participate with their peers as they worship and learn together.

rEcess

Recess is changing the story of disability, loving people, and empowering others to serve families experiencing disability in their communities. Every third Friday of the month, NHB hosts an event called rEcess to love on kids with disabilities and their siblings so their parents can have a night off.

bEfriend

bEfriend creates simple yet profound friendships between people with and without disabilities—connections that might not happen otherwise. Many adults with disabilities primarily interact with family or paid staff, but we believe in a different story—one where friendships are freely given and life is shared. We meet on the 1st Thursday of every month.
