Special needs ministry
VCC has a burden to provide care for children with varied special needs as well as allow their parents to experience the church while their kids are taken care of by trained and experienced volunteers. These volunteers work along side the child in their classroom of same age peers. To this end, we have also created a sensory break room designed by Occupational Therapists that parents and staff may utilize as necessary when a child needs a break from the larger group. Our ability to resource this ministry is limited but we are continuing to expand and provide care for more and more families. If you are interested in this ministry, or have questions before visiting, please contact our Special Needs Coordinator Victorie Steed at .
