Purpose – The purpose of The JOY Ministry is “To Empower the Disability Community with God’s Love." By welcoming to our church families who are affected by special needs, we can begin to care for their family member while encouraging them to get involved in church. Many families who have special needs family members are used to ”home churching” or “tag teaming.” They are not used to someone actually stepping forward to care for their special needs child or adult. When we can do that and welcome them “just as they are,” it frees them not only to be ministered to, but to begin to use their gifts and talents and minister to others as well.
