Who We Are
SHINE Special Needs Ministry seeks to create a meaningful worship experience in God’s community that will empower individuals with disabilities as well as their families to know and live in the love and light of Christ. The name SHINE stands for Support, Hope, Include, Nurture, and Embrace, which is what we strive to do for every individual and family we serve.
Our goal is for you to know just how special and loved you are – by God and by all of us at The Lakes! We are made beautiful by every member of our community and we can’t wait to meet and get to know you. We love you already!
What We Do
Our weekly service is centered around music, prayer, Bible stories and simple life lessons. All ages and abilities are welcome to come and be free to be themselves while actively participating as a contributing member of an inclusive and loving faith community at The Lakes Church.
Our service is every Sunday at 11:15 AM held at our new space next to church, Lakes West. (7150 Cooley Lake Rd, Waterford).
