It is the mission of Calvary's Special Needs Ministry to nurture and enhance the Spiritual gifts of all God's children with special needs so that each can grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ and become a positive and significant member of Calvary and God's family.

It is important to support families with kids with special needs in practical as well as spiritual ways so that each member is better able to become a significant part of Calvary and to use their unique Spiritual gifts to God's glory.
