When our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, declared, “Let the little children come to me,” He was inviting all children to experience the joy of His “Good News” – including those with special needs.

Yet sometimes children with special needs and their caregivers can find that venturing to church to worship God on Sunday morning can just be another struggle that they would rather not face.

That is why the members of King of Kings Lutheran Church are now offering a new ministry to families with special needs – All the King’s Kids.  We not only want your family to feel welcome and accepted, but we will work with you to provide a variety of accommodations and supports that will allow your entire family to participate in all areas of our church life. 

These currently include:

¨ Sunday School Shepherds to assist children in our inclusive classes

¨ A self-contained Sunday School class for children that learn better with modified instruction 

¨ Modified or customized confirmation curriculums

¨ Staffed church-time child care for children who find it difficult to sit through a worship service

¨ A “Quiet Room” in our new library where parents and children can view the church service via closed circuit television

¨ A Christian Support Group for parents and caregivers of people with special needs

Many of our volunteers have participated in our “Special Needs Basic Training” class, which provides them with an overview of various developmental disabilities along with practical ways of working with individuals whose lives are affected by them.  And a recent grant from the Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis has allowed us to obtain specialized education materials and sensory integration devices. 

Our Special Needs Coordinator works with parents to identify their children’s needs and help them to grow in their Christian faith, while allowing parents and siblings the opportunity to nurture their own faiths.

King of Kings offers a variety of opportunities for people of all ages to worship, learn, and serve God in a caring Christian community.  We invite you to visit or call us to learn more about how we might serve your family.
