Special Needs Ministry
Ages Birth - 17 and Adults ages 18+
Here at First Baptist Forney we offer a Christ-centered environment with a person-centered emphasis that enables us to focus on the entire family's spiritual growth. We view special needs as a different ability rather than a disability. We believe it is all part of God’s plan to care, love and welcome children with special needs into our church fellowship and community.
Therefore, we consider it a privilege to offer this ministry and would love to speak with you regarding the needs of your child.
At FB Forney we currently offer an inclusion-buddy system and self-contained learning environment.

Special Needs Parents Day/Night Out
Our Special Needs Ministry is dedicated to meeting the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of special needs children / teens and their families.

This is for ages 1 to 17. Child care and food will also be provided for siblings who are 12 years old and younger.
