Special Needs Ministry
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” - Matt 5:16
We recognize the value and needs of each person regardless of their physical, mental, or emotional limitations. We strive to offer opportunities for those with disabilities and their families, so that they may rise to the potential for which God created them. Through our programs, we hope to be a church where anyone can come to for acceptance, support, and encouragement.
Lovers Lane Church is committed to ministering to every one of God's children. Below you will find information about the Special Needs Ministry at Lovers Lane Church.

Night Lights
Night Lights is a program that serves families with special needs in the Dallas area by giving them a respite night from 6 - 10pm on every first Friday of the month (except for Jan and July). Both children with special needs and their siblings are welcome to come and enjoy different activities such as arts and crafts, computer games, a special show, drama, and much more. Every child is assisted by a volunteer. Children are admitted between the ages of 6mo - 18yrs. Free dinner for volunteers served at 5:30 pm

Guiding Lights
Lovers Lane Church strives to create an inclusive environment for all children. Guiding Lights is a program in which an adult volunteer is matched with a child with special needs in order to aid the child in the classroom during Sunday school, children's choir, Vacation Bible School, midweek programming and other family events planned by our Children's Ministry.
Faith Connection
This class is the newest addition to our Special Needs Ministry and offers Sunday school Bible studies to adult mentally challenged individuals. The curriculum is practical, Bible-centered, easy to understand, and is adapted to the needs of the individual. Volunteers are there to assist class members whenever needed.
