HI! I'M ANNA
YOUR SPECIAL NEEDS MINISTRY CONSULTANT
As someone who has experienced both sides of special needs ministry - as a parent and as a ministry leader - I understand the unique challenges churches face when creating inclusive environments.
My passion is helping churches build thriving special needs ministriesthat truly welcome and support families affected by disability.
I specialize in training volunteers, developing sensory-friendly spaces, creating inclusive programming, and helping your church become a place where every family feels they belong.
Together, we can ensure that no family has to choose between their faith and their child's needs.
Cheering You On,
Anna

Questions?
1. DO YOU WORK WITH ALL DENOMINATIONS?
Yes! I work with churches of all denominations and sizes. The principles of inclusion and accessibility apply universally, and I adapt my approach to honor your church's unique theology and culture.
2. CAN YOU HELP US START FROM SCRATCH?
Absolutely! Many churches I work with are just beginning their special needs ministry journey. We'll start with the basics and build a sustainable ministry that grows with your congregation.
3. DO YOU PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT?
Yes! Ministry is a marathon, not a sprint. I offer monthly coaching calls, email support, and resource sharing to ensure your ministry continues to thrive long after our initial training.
Ready to Make Your Church a Place Where Every Family Belongs?
Let's work together to create a ministry that reflects God's heart for all His children.
"The body of Christ is not complete when members are missing. Your church needs families affected by disability - and they need you."
