ChristWay Special Needs Ministry

Here at ChristWay, love is in our DNA! We aim to take hold of each opportunity to share God’s love in ways that everyone can understand and experience. The LORD has invited us all to His table, and all are invited to ChristWay. Scroll below to find the best fit for your loved one.

To ensure a safe and supportive environment for all participants in our Special Needs Ministry, families must complete the following before attending Sunday programming:

1. Submit an online intake form.

2. Participate in an intake meeting with a ministry staff member.

These steps help us prepare thoughtfully so we can welcome and support your participant in the best way possible.

Toddlers Through Preschool - Octopus Room
Toddlers Through Preschool - Octopus Room

The Octopus Room is intended for toddlers-preschool aged friends who may benefit from additional support. Our room is calm and inviting, filled with sensory items and loving volunteers ready to extend care and friendship. It is located in the Big Wahoo, our preschool area, and available each Sunday during the 9:45 AM and 11:11 AM gatherings.

If you have a family member wanting to participate in the Octopus Room, please let us know how we can best accommodate his or her needs by completing this form.

Elementary - The Tree House & The Fort
Elementary - The Tree House & The Fort

For elementary-aged children who may need extra support to feel comfortable and succeed in a Sunday morning environment, we offer two tailored options: Classroom Buddies and The Fort.

Classroom Buddies are caring volunteers who come alongside children during both large group worship and small group time, helping to create a welcoming, manageable space where everyone can thrive. Available during the second and third gatherings, these buddies provide just the right level of support so your child can fully participate and enjoy their time at church.

The Fort is a specialized classroom created for elementary-aged children who benefit from a more structured, individualized setting. In this calm and nurturing environment, each child receives one-on-one support and a personalized approach to worship, learning, and play, helping them connect in ways that suit their unique needs.

If your child could benefit from a Classroom Buddy or The Fort, we’d love to partner with you. Please complete this form. to let us know how we can best support your family.

Feel free to contact Lydia Toledano, our coordinator, at ltoledano@christwaychurch.org with any additional questions.
