Special Needs

At Parkside our privilege and passion are to serve children who have a wide variety of special needs. We understand that having a child with special needs is life-changing. At Parkside, there’s an open invitation for children with special needs to come and experience who Jesus is. We understand the unique challenges of caring for a child with special needs, and we desire to support the whole family as we welcome you into our church community. Volunteers provide a safe and loving atmosphere for children with special needs to learn and experience the love of Jesus Christ.

Buddy Break

Buddy Break offers a complimentary three-hour respite once a month for caregivers of children with special needs. During this time, parents can take a well-deserved break while their special-needs child engages in crafts, storytelling, activities, games, and more. This service is available for children aged 4 through 6th grade. For INFO on Buddy Breaks, click this link: Buddy Breaks Info Sheet – 2024
