The Lighthouse Special Needs Program

The Light House is a special needs program at New Season Church that has grown from a handful to over 20 individuals needing assistance on Sunday mornings. Our mission is to provide an inclusive, supportive, and engaging environment for individuals with special needs. The Light House aims to create a community where individuals feel valued, loved, and included. The ministry includes volunteer buddies called Light Keepers, The Cove sensory room with Cove Crew support, Event Crew for luncheons and respite events, and a future life group for adults with special needs.
