Value. Include. Protect.
A Special Needs Ministry
At The Cross Church, we provide a welcoming and inclusive church community for families and individuals with varying abilities. Every person is created in God’s image, deeply loved, and fully valued. The Cross VIP exists to ensure that individuals with disabilities can encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and belong in every part of church life.

Value
We affirm the inherent worth of every individual. Each person with special needs brings unique gifts and reflects God's creativity and love.
"You are worth more than many sparrows."
