Children with Special Needs
Heart to Heart is designed for children with special needs and their families. We offer two programs in our ministry. Together, parents and our Heart to Heart Coordinator will determine which program is appropriate for your child.
Our first program is providing a classroom with a “family atmosphere”. This classroom is specifically designed for kiddos that need and want one on one attention and who may not feel comfortable being mainstreamed. We have trained volunteers in this room every Sunday ready to greet your child with love and hugs. This is a special place with small numbers and personal attention. It allows the volunteers to create a special bond with the families and our Heart to Heart children.
Our second program is to provide an adult, or one of our experienced high school students, to be your child’s “Buddy”. The Buddy will help your child enter the regular Sunday morning classroom. This program helps foster as much independence as possible.
To ensure that there is a buddy available for your child this weekend, please contact us (lhckids@lhc.org) no later than the Wednesday prior to the Sunday service you would like to attend.
We are very excited to offer this ministry to you and your family. We want to make sure that your time at Lake Hills Church is one of encouragement and acceptance. Please feel free to contact us (lhckids@lhc.org) with any questions or concerns you may have. We hope to see you at Lake Hills Church soon!
Becoming a Buddy
Do you want to join the Heart-to-Heart team as a buddy? The only requirement is that you want to help us live out 1 Samuel 16:7 as we strive to follow in Jesus’ footsteps. We need buddies at all of our Sunday service times in both the LHC Kids Hallway (birth-kindergarten) and The Summit Tent (1st-5th grade). Please email lhckids@lhc.org to become a Heart-to-Heart buddy.
