Our Special Ministries division is unique to the Brazosport and southern Brazoria county areas. Having celebrated our 25th year of ministry in November 2006, we offer weekly classes and ministries to the hearing impaired, to those who are mentally handicapped, to adult new readers, and to those who are homebound. Director of the Special Ministries division is Janie Walker.

Special Education
Glenn Davis, Mildred Taylor, Janie Walker and Jean Hinkle work with those from our area who are mentally handicapped and require special attention in the learning process. They provide Bible study materials appropriate to the learning level of these students. These leaders get to know their members on a personal level, and provide love and ministry to them.

Deaf Fellowship
A special Sunday School class is offered for those in the community who are hearing impaired. Eddie and Audrey Cassle, who are themselves hearing impaired, are teachers of this class. Becky Vernor and Jackie Burke assist and facilitate the class. All worship services are signed as needed. Signing classes are offered each year.

New Readers
Adult students in the community who, for whatever reason, need assistance in reading are invited to join Gaylynn Benn in room 4 every Sunday morning at 9:15 for a Bible lesson. The comfort zone of these students is main-tained, and personal Christian interaction takes place that results in an increase in personal confidence and security.

Homebound
Adults who have physical ailments that have immobilized them are not forgotten. Jackie Burke leads this valuable ministry to shut-ins and the elderly. Brief Bible lessons are shared with each one on a regular basis, and ministry efforts are extended as needed.
