Continue to roll out the red carpet for families in the special needs community

Special needs ministry

Through the Abundant Life we will focus on expanding our special needs ministry beyond just children and teens with special needs, but adults as well.

The purpose of special needs at Eleven22 is to glorify God by fostering people with special needs to discover their identity in Jesus Christ and their God-given place and purpose in the body of believers, deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior through worship, Word, learning and community and to champion God’s sovereignty in the midst of disability by becoming equipped with their God-given spiritual gifts, so that they can love all people by being a disciple-making disciple.
