We will follow God’s design for the different roles for parents, children and of course, spouses.

Kids with Special Needs
Here at The Bible Chapel, we believe that all God’s children were created unique by Him and are precious to Him! He has given every child, including the special needs child, unique gifts and talents. Through our Special Needs Ministry, we provide children (up to 5th grade) the opportunity to learn about, experience and share in God’s love and grace!
How does the program work? Each child who registers in the program will be paired with one or two friends. Because consistency is important to most special needs kids, our volunteers will available at least two weeks per month. A formal diagnosis is not required to participate in this program. Parents work with volunteers to develop a customized plan for each child.
If you feel your child could benefit from the Special Needs Ministry, please contact Jennifer Christensen at 412-831-0855. Also, please contact Jennifer at pj5kids@comcast.net or Carri Czyzewski at carri@xroadsweb.com in advance of your visit to The Bible Chapel so that a volunteer can arrange to meet you the day of your visit.
