No Boundaries is a ministry to families with children with special needs. Our goal is to include children with disabilities in our church community by providing the support they need to participate as fully as possible, so that they may hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ. We provide assessment of the needs of children with disabilities through a parent questionnaire and an observation by our No Boundaries Coordinator who then works with the parents, shepherds, and teachers, to include the child in our current ministries. Children with special needs are often paired with a Buddy who is part of the No Boundaries team, providing the opportunity to develop a relationship with the child and family in order to minister to them more fully and assisting them in participating in Kids of Grace activities.
