special needs ministry
Our heart at Tree is to connect all people to the life, love, and power of Jesus. Our TreeKids mission statement aligns with that heart by partnering with families to train up all children to KNOW God, GROW in their faith, and to GO connect others to the life, love and power of Jesus!
On Sunday mornings, you’ll find that we offer classrooms to best serve children with special needs. We have sensory-oriented activities that allow for decompression, as well as a kid-friendly way to share the gospel and love of Jesus with them.
Purple Room (9 AM only) : 0-5 years old
Our Purple Room provides your child with a quiet and sensory-friendly environment where parents and children can experience service together through our streamed services via the monitors. We are committed to helping your children transition into their age-appropriate ECM classroom when they are ready.
Green Room (11 AM only) : Kindergarten-5th grade
In our Green Room, your child will experience ministry tailored to his or her age and needs. We also have a connected sensory room where students can have some “ free time” at the end of class.
events:
Get ready for fun with the whole family because you’re invited to TREE KIDS SUPER SUMMER JAM!
This 3-day event is from July 23rd-25th and is for all children 5-12 years old. This isn’t your traditional drop-off event or Vacation Bible School. This experience is designed to engage your entire family and strengthen your family bond! Thursday and Friday are centered around the kids' experience with worship, teaching, small groups, games, and all the fun elements of Summer Jam.
Parents, you’ll have the opportunity to connect in the Parent Lounge where you’ll receive encouragement, practical parenting tools, refreshments, and opportunities to build relationships with other parents. The goal is to create value for the entire family, not just for your kids!
If you can’t make it on Thursday and Friday, be sure to bring the whole family Saturday because it’ll be our FAMILY FINALE! Everyone will worship together, participate in activities as a family and celebrate what God has done throughout the weekend.
Event Times:
Thursday, July 23 | 6:00pm–8:30pm
Friday, July 24 | 6:00pm–8:30pm
Saturday, July 25 | 9:00am–12:00pm

Events throughout the year:
Ministry doesn’t just happen on Sunday mornings! We love being able to hold events throughout the year for the special needs community.
Night to Shine in February:
We're proud and privileged to host Night to Shine here at Tree of Life Church in partnership with the Tim Tebow Foundation. This ministry opportunity provides an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love for the special needs community.
Special Needs Easter Event:
Our heart is to offer an exclusive and tailored experience that is personal, safe, and fun, to every family with special needs. From craft areas, giveaways, an egg hunt and sharing the Jesus Story, we strive to make this a truly memorable morning for all in attendance.
