1:31 – A Special Needs Community
1:31 | Sundays | 9:45 AM
Our name is inspired from Genesis 1:31 where God saw everything that God had made and said it was very good. As a church family, we work diligently to eliminate any obstacles that may prevent families from participating in the programs offered at Christ United. Through our 1:31 Special Needs Community, we provide Sunday morning classes, beginning at 9:45 AM, that are safe, nurturing, and enjoyable for everyone, including our friends who are neurodiverse.
We currently serve neurodiverse young adults, but if you are seeking services for children, please let us know! Our members show us that mobility challenges are not obstacles to playing in God’s house, that communication disorders do not prevent us from talking to God, and that learning differences do not keep us from being students of the Lord. They constantly remind us of their unique abilities, and we seek to support and encourage them each Sunday morning. Our goal is to have both you and your child enjoy your time at Christ United, so please join us this Sunday!

Before proceeding to your child’s classroom, please check-in at one of two computer kiosks located on either side of the welcome desk. You will receive three name badges: place one sticker on your child’s back, give another sticker to the teacher to keep in the classroom, keep the third sticker with you. You will need to show this sticker to the teacher at pick-up time.
